I'm using Candid B tropical solution to treat my nail fungus, and I just got it from a pharmacy. Is it safe to use? Can you let me know if there's anything I should be worried about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Candid B topical solution contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is commonly used to treat fungal infections. For nail fungus, it is important to apply the solution to the affected nail(s) twice daily for several weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry before application. If you experience any irritation or worsening of symptoms, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

View allI'm a 27-year-old woman and I'm dealing with an armpit yeast infection. I tried Clobetasol but didn't see any improvement. Now, I'm using Whitfield's ointment with Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Can this really help with the yeast infection, or is there a better medication I should consider?
Whitfield's ointment containing Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid is not typically used to treat yeast infections. For yeast infections, antifungal medications are usually recommended. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. If the infection persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a fungus issue near my vaginal area that's been going on for about three months now. I've been taking medication as prescribed by my doctor, but the problem starts all over again and spreads if I stop taking them. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Indicates a recurring fungal infection. To treat this effectively, I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) may be prescribed by your doctor for systemic treatment. It is important to maintain good hygiene, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to prevent further spread of the infection.
