Candid 1 % Lotion 30 ML

Candid Lotion 30 ml is a topical antifungal medication commonly used to treat a range of fungal skin infections. These infections include ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal nappy rash, and fungal sweat rash.

• Tinea corporis: Ringworm, or tinea corporis, is a contagious skin infection caused by a fungal infection. It typically presents as a red, itchy, circular rash on the skin or scalp. Candid lotion works by inhibiting the growth of the fungus responsible for the infection, helping to clear up the rash and relieve symptoms.
• Athlete's foot: Athlete's foot or tinea pedis, is another common fungal skin infection of the feet. It can cause itchy, scaly white patches on the toes and feet, which can be uncomfortable and unsightly. Candid lotion 30 ml can be applied topically to the affected area to remove the infection and relieve symptoms.
• Fungal nappy rash: Fungal nappy rash, or diaper dermatitis, is a typical skin condition affecting babies and young children. It presents as red, raised patches in the nappy area, particularly in the skin folds around the groin and thighs. Candid lotion can treat the infection and reduce inflammation and itching.
• Intertrigo: Fungal sweat rash, also known as intertrigo, is a fungal infection that affects moist and damp areas of the skin, such as the groin, armpits, and under the breasts. It can cause a red, itchy rash that may be uncomfortable and sore. Candid lotion can help to clear up the infection and relieve symptoms.
• External thrush: In addition to these skin infections, Candid lotion treats external thrush in women and men. External thrush is a common yeast infection that affects the genital area. It can cause itching, burning, and abnormal discharge. Candid lotion can be applied topically to the affected area to remove the infection and relieve symptoms.

• Candid lotion 30 ml is composed of an active ingredient called Clotrimazole. Clotrimazole is classified as an imidazole antifungal and is commonly available over-the-counter. Candid lotion 30 ml is a medication that fights fungal infections by preventing fungi from growing and reproducing. It does this by interfering with ergosterol, vital for the fungus' cell membrane. When ergosterol is blocked, the cell membrane weakens, and the fungus dies. Candid lotion 30 ml can treat fungal infections and some types of bacteria that can cause skin infections.
