Question

Can you tell me if it's okay to use candid b cream for a fungal infection on my face? I've got these really annoying red and dry patches on my cheeks that look just like dandruff, and I'm a bit worried about them. Is this cream safe to apply there, or should I be trying something else?

Candid B cream can be used for fungal infections on the face. It contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which are effective in treating fungal infections. You can apply a thin layer of Candid B cream on the affected areas on your cheeks twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
