Description:
Candid Multi-Benefit Skin Cream is a topical medication used to treat mixed skin infections involving fungi and bacteria, often accompanied by inflammation and itching. It typically contains a combination of three active ingredients: clotrimazole, beclomethasone dipropionate, and neomycin sulfate.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness. Neomycin sulfate is an antibiotic that is effective against certain types of bacteria.
This combination is used to treat conditions like eczema or dermatitis with secondary fungal or bacterial infections, as well as certain types of tinea infections where inflammation is significant. The cream is usually applied thinly to the affected area two to three times a day as directed by a physician.
Due to the presence of a corticosteroid, prolonged or excessive use should be avoided, and it should not be used on large areas of the body or for extended periods without medical advice, as it can lead to side effects like skin thinning, stretch marks, and systemic absorption of the steroid.
