Canditop Powder is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. It contains clotrimazole as its active ingredient, which works by stopping the growth of infection-causing fungi. This powder is typically applied to areas like the underarms, groin, feet, or other body parts prone to sweating and friction. It is effective against conditions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and candidiasis (fungal diaper rash or skin folds). The powder form helps keep the skin dry, reducing moisture buildup that encourages fungal growth.

To use, clean and dry the affected area before gently dusting the powder. Regular use, usually twice daily or as directed by a doctor, is necessary for best results. It’s important to continue treatment even if symptoms improve early to prevent recurrence.

Common side effects are usually mild and include skin irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site. These effects often subside as the skin adjusts. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing may occur. If any severe reaction develops, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds while using the powder.
