What is Candid TV, and how should it be used?

Asked by Female, 26 · 2 days ago

Candid TV is an antifungal lotion containing clotrimazole and selenium sulfide, used to treat conditions like dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis) and tinea versicolor (discoloured patches on the skin). For dandruff, apply it to a wet scalp, gently massage to form a lather, leave it on for about 5 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly; this may be repeated as advised. For tinea versicolor, apply a thin layer to the affected skin and leave it on for the duration recommended by your doctor. Avoid contact with eyes or broken skin, and continue use for the full course; consult a doctor if there is no improvement.
