Candid Mouth Paint should be applied thinly and evenly and rubbed gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and for at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing.

Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
