Candid Dusting Powder is a medicated antifungal treatment in a convenient powder form. It contains Clotrimazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that effectively treats skin infections caused by various types of fungi and yeast. The powder base not only delivers the medication but also helps to absorb excess moisture, which is often the primary cause of fungal overgrowth.
This product is primarily indicated for fungal skin infections and moisture-related irritations. It is used for:
Fungal Infections: Treating Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), Ringworm (tinea corporis), and Jock itch (tinea cruris).
Prickly Heat: Soothing the "heat rash" and redness caused by excessive sweating in hot and humid climates.
Fungal Diaper Rash: Managing stubborn rashes in infants where yeast (Candida) is a contributing factor.
Intertrigo: Treating redness and itching in skin folds (under the breasts, armpits, or groin) where skin-to-skin friction occurs.
Prevention: Using regularly in socks and shoes to prevent the recurrence of fungal foot infections.
Clotrimazole (1% w/w): Works by penetrating the fungal cell wall and disrupting the production of ergosterol, which is essential for the fungus to survive and grow.
Application: Dust the powder liberally over the affected area.
Frequency: Usually applied 2 to 3 times daily.
Duration: For best results, continue application for a few days even after the symptoms have cleared to ensure the infection does not return.
Clean & Dry: Wash the affected area with mild soap and water. Pat dry thoroughly, as fungi thrive in damp environments.
Apply: Sprinkle the powder over the site and gently spread it with clean fingers to ensure even coverage.
Foot Care: If treating Athlete's foot, dust the powder between the toes and inside your socks and shoes.
Hygiene: Wash your hands after application to prevent spreading the fungus to other parts of your body or to other people.
External Use Only: Do not inhale the powder. Keep it away from the nose and mouth, especially when applying it to infants.
Avoid Eyes: Ensure the powder does not get into the eyes.
Broken Skin: Do not apply to severely broken or oozing skin without consulting our pharmacist.
Persistence: If the infection does not show improvement after 7 days of treatment, please speak with a healthcare professional.
Indicated For: Infants, children, and adults.
Hot Climates: Particularly beneficial for individuals living in tropical regions or those who engage in heavy physical activity and sweating.
Q: Can I use this as a regular talcum powder?
A: While it feels like regular powder, Candid is a medicated product. It should be used to treat or prevent specific fungal issues rather than as a daily cosmetic body powder.
Q: Can I use it for my baby’s nappy rash?
A: Yes, if the rash is caused by a yeast infection (often characterized by bright red spots). However, for a standard friction-based diaper rash, a barrier cream (like Zinc Oxide) is usually preferred.
Q: How does it help with heat rash?
A: It absorbs the sweat that clogs the sweat ducts and prevents secondary fungal infections from developing on the irritated skin.
