Question

I'm really concerned about whether Candid cream is steroidal or not. Is it safe to use this for treating candidiasis? I want to make sure I'm not using something that's too strong or might cause side effects. Would love some guidance on this!

Candid cream contains Clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections like candidiasis. It is not a steroid cream. You can apply Candid cream topically to the affected area 2-3 times a day for effective treatment of candidiasis.
