An over-the-counter topical antifungal, such as terbinafine cream or clotrimazole, administered twice a day for two to four weeks typically works for fungal infections. For dark spots (hyperpigmentation), a dermatologist-approved product with niacinamide, azelaic acid, or a mild hydroquinone cream can be used, but it?s best to confirm the exact diagnosis before starting treatment.

Fungal infections in the private area are common and usually cause itching, redness, or a white discharge. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid harsh soaps or scented products. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, see a doctor for proper treatment.

Candid Cream contains Clotrimazole, an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections. It is not intended for treating skin darkening or pigmentation, so it should not be used for darkness around the nose. For pigmentation concerns, it is best to consult a dermatologist, who can recommend safe and effective treatments suitable for your skin type.
