I'm trying to figure out the best time to apply Candid clotrimazole cream for treating Tinea versicolor around my shoulder and chest. Is it better to use it before or after a shower, before sleeping, or maybe early in the morning before sunlight? Also, I've been taking one Fole 150 tablet every week for the past five weeks without using any creams or lotions. Should I keep taking Fole 150 tablets, or is it time to stop now?
Ideally it is applied during bed time ,follow your doctors advice
