Candid Clotrimazole Cream | Tube | 30 Gm

Candid 1% Cream is primarily recommended by doctors as a medicine to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm and other similar conditions. It contains clotrimazole, an antifungal agent that helps stop the growth of fungi and helps relieve symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation. This cream is also helpful in treating pityriasis, a skin condition that causes flaking or scaling.
