Candid Gold Dusting Powder is a combination of two medicines: Allantoin and Clotrimazole. Allantoin is a skin protectant that moisturizes the skin and relieves minor irritation. Clotrimazole is an antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. This treats your infection.
