Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g

Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g is an antifungal powder that contains clotrimazole 1% in each 50 g pack. It is used on the skin to help treat fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm, and to reduce moisture in areas that can encourage fungus growth. Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g is a topical azole antifungal, so it works on the skin surface rather than through the bloodstream. The powder form can be especially helpful in warm, sweaty, or skin-fold areas where keeping the skin dry matters.

How it works: Clotrimazole works by stopping fungi from making a substance they need to build and protect their cell wall. In powder form, Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g spreads over the skin to help treat the fungus while also keeping the area drier.

Compared with the larger Candid 1% Dusting Powder 100 g pack, Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g gives the same clotrimazole strength but in a smaller amount, which may suit short treatment courses or smaller affected areas. The powder texture is useful when a doctor wants an antifungal that also helps absorb moisture and reduce rubbing. It is still a 1% strength product, so it should be chosen based on the infection site and the prescriber’s plan, not because it is a milder medicine.

• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Ringworm
• Moist, sweaty skin folds prone to fungal infection
• Surface fungal rash on the skin

• Use Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g only on the skin, not by mouth.
• Clean and dry the affected area well before applying the powder.
• Dust a thin layer over the infected skin and surrounding area as directed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after use, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Keep the area as dry as possible and wear breathable clothing or socks if advised.
• Use it regularly for the full course even if itching or redness improves sooner.

Each pack of Candid 1% Dusting Powder 50 g provides clotrimazole 1% for topical use. How often to apply it depends on the infection and your doctor’s directions; many clotrimazole powder products are used once or twice daily, but your prescriber should decide the schedule for this exact product. Do not use more than directed, because using extra powder more often does not make it work faster.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Clotrimazole may include:

• Mild skin burning
• Itching at the application site
• Redness
• Stinging or irritation
• Dry or peeling skin
• Rash

• Use only on external skin; do not apply to the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• Do not use if you are allergic to clotrimazole or other azole antifungals unless a clinician says it is safe.
• If the treated area becomes very red, swollen, or painful, stop and get medical advice.
• Keep the skin clean and dry; continued moisture can reduce how well the powder helps.
• Ask a clinician before use in children, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
• If symptoms do not improve or keep coming back, you may need a different diagnosis or treatment.
• Do not cover the area with airtight dressings unless your doctor tells you to.

• Other topical antifungal medicines on the same area unless directed by a clinician
• Corticosteroid creams on the same rash unless prescribed together
• Products that irritate the skin, such as harsh antiseptics or strong soaps
• Occlusive dressings that trap heat and moisture over the treated area
