Side Effects:
Mild burning, redness, or irritation at the site of application
Itching or dryness

Precautions:
For external use only — do not apply inside the mouth, eyes, or vagina unless directed.
Wash hands before and after applying the cream.
Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings unless advised.
If using on feet, wash and dry feet thoroughly, especially between toes.
Avoid cosmetics, deodorants, or powders on the infected area during treatment.
If no improvement after 2 weeks, consult a physician for review.
Dietary Restrictions:
Candid Cream is topical (external), so no specific dietary restrictions apply.
However, to support recovery and prevent recurrent fungal infections:
Keep affected areas clean and dry.
Avoid tight, synthetic clothing (use cotton garments).
Change socks and underwear daily.
Avoid excessive sweating or moisture in skin folds.
In recurrent fungal infections, reduce excess sugar intake, as fungi thrive in moist and glucose-rich environments.
