I'm really worried because I've had two UTIs recently and during the same time, I've noticed my hair getting thinner and I'm losing quite a bit of it. Is this related? Like, can recurrent UTIs actually cause hair thinning and hair loss? It's really stressing me out, and I'm not sure what's going on.

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.

I've been dealing with some itching near my private area for almost four years now. I've tried seeing many doctors and used various treatments like candid B, lulibor cream, It mac 200, and Atarax 25, but nothing seems to work. It just keeps coming back. What can I do to finally get some relief?

Given that you have tried various treatments without success, it is crucial to have a comprehensive evaluation by your healthcare provider to determine the exact cause. If necessary, you might need a different approach, whether that's a longer or stronger treatment, lifestyle changes, or managing underlying conditions.
