About Candiderma Plus Cream

Candiderma Plus Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy/uneven red patches covered with white scales), insect bites and stings.

Candiderma Plus Cream contains Clotrimazole, Neomycin and Beclomethasone dipropionate. Clotrimazole damages the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria for vital functions. Beclomethasone dipropionate blocks prostaglandin's production, which makes the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

Common side effects of Candiderma Plus Cream include redness, itching, dryness and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Candiderma Plus Cream. Do not use Candiderma Plus Cream on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Do not apply a dressing or bandage to the affected area, as this increases the risk of side effects.

Health Queries

I have had ringworm on both thighs for the past one year. What is the best way to treat this chronic infection?

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Long-standing ringworm on the thighs (Tinea Cruris) usually means the infection has become chronic and needs consistent and proper care. Keep the area clean and completely dry, wear loose cotton underwear, change clothes after sweating, and avoid sharing towels or tight clothing. Avoid using steroid-mixed creams, as they can worsen and prolong the infection even if they give temporary relief. Continue using a plain antifungal cream regularly for a few weeks as advised, even after symptoms improve. Since your infection has lasted for a year, it is important to consult a doctor (you can opt for an online consultation) for proper evaluation and guidance to prevent recurrence and ensure complete cure.
