Candid-B Cream is a combination medicine used to treat fungal skin infections (e.g., athlete’s foot, ringworm, sweat rash). It contains:

How to Use

• Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on affected areas.

• Wash hands after application (unless treating hands).

• Use as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.

Side Effects (usually mild)
