HOW CANDID B LOTION WORKS

CANDID B LOTION is a combination of Beclometasone and Clotrimazole which manage skin infections. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by managing them from forming their own protective covering.
