Adjunct hygiene measure for superficial fungal skin infections (tinea, candidiasis) and to help reduce fungal load and odor
Clotrimazole reduces fungal growth by disrupting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Regular cleansing may help lower surface fungal burden alongside prescribed therapy.
For external use only. Lather on wet skin, leave on affected areas for 1-2 minutes if tolerated, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Use once or twice daily or as advised.
Common side effects of Candid Medicated Soap may include:
Not a standalone treatment for severe infections; consult doctor if widespread, recurrent, or if symptoms persist. Avoid eyes and mucosal surfaces. Stop if significant irritation occurs.
