About Candid Cream 50 gm

Candid Cream 50 gm is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, fungal nappy rash, fungal sweat rash and thrush. A fungal infection, also known as mycosis, is a skin infection caused by a fungus.

Candid Cream 50 gm contains clotrimazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membrane and causing the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

In some cases, Candid Cream 50 gm may cause itching, redness, dryness, burning and stinging sensations. The majority of these side effects of Candid Cream 50 gm eventually fade away over time without the need for medical intervention. Consult your doctor if any side effects worsen or persist.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Candid Cream 50 gm. Consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing mother. Do not use any other topical medications simultaneously along with Candid Cream 50 gm without a doctor's recommendation. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.

Health Queries

Can I use Candid Cream on my private area?

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Yes, you can use Candid Cream (clotrimazole) on the external skin of your private area to treat fungal infections such as itching, redness, or discharge, but you should avoid applying it inside the vagina or on very sensitive internal tissues. It is best to apply a thin layer to the clean, dry affected area twice daily for the duration recommended by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully cleared. If you do not see any improvement within a week or if you experience increased irritation or redness, please consult your doctor for a proper evaluation.

I have a skin allergy with ring-like rashes on my nose, forehead, and arms. What should I do?

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Ring-like rashes on the nose, forehead, and arms are more likely to be caused by a fungal infection than by a simple allergy, especially if they are itchy and spreading. This happens due to sweat and moisture, allowing the fungus to grow on the skin. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid oily products, and do not use random creams as they can worsen it. A doctor may advise proper antifungal treatment, so consult your doctor to get the right care and clear it completely.

I have a fungal infection under my arms and in the genital area, and it causes burning and discomfort. What should I do?

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Fungal infection under the arms and in the genital area can cause itching, burning, and discomfort. Keep the affected areas clean and dry and wear loose cotton clothing to reduce moisture. Avoid using harsh soaps or tight clothes that may irritate the skin. Consult a doctor for suitable antifungal treatment to clear the infection.

Side effects of Candid Cream 50 gm|For Fungal Infections|Skin Itching & Irritation

Nausea

Overcome Medication-Induced Nausea: A 9-Step Plan

Inform your doctor about the nausea and discuss possible alternatives to the medication or adjustments to the dosage.
Divide your daily food intake into smaller, more frequent meals to reduce nausea.
Opt for bland, easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, plain rice, bananas, and applesauce.
Avoid certain foods that can trigger nausea, such as fatty, greasy, spicy, and smelly foods.
Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broth, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
Use ginger (tea, ale, or candies) to help relieve nausea.
Get adequate rest and also avoid strenuous activities that can worsen nausea.
Talk to your doctor about taking anti-nausea medication if your nausea is severe.
Record when your nausea occurs, what triggers it, and what provides relief to help you identify patterns and manage your symptoms more effectively.

Mild Burning

Cool the burn by using cool (not cold) running water to reduce tissue damage and pain.
Slowly remove any tight clothing or jewellery from the burned area.
After cooling, apply a topical ointment like aloevera gel or a mild antibiotic cream to help with healing.
Use a clean bandage to protect the burn area from further irritation.
Take over-the-counter pain medication if needed.
Do not apply butter or other greasy substances, as they can trap bacteria and hinder healing.
If the burn covers a large area of skin or if the burn appears to be deeper than the top layer of skin, with blisters or significant redness, consult the doctor and get treated.

Irritation

Consult your doctor if you experience skin redness, itching, or irritation after taking medication.
Apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to the affected skin area to reduce irritation.
