Question

I've been dealing with what looks like a ringworm on my cheeks. I'm really worried it's a fungal infection. I'm wondering if it's safe to use Candid B cream on my face for this. Can you advise if that's a good idea?

Yes, you can apply Candid B cream on your cheeks for fungal infection like ringworm. Apply a thin layer of Candid B cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning and drying it. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
