Canesten S Cream – Antifungal

Canesten S Cream is a topical antifungal and antibacterial formulation that helps treat a wide range of skin infections. It combines two active ingredients — Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone, which work together to eliminate fungal infections and relieve inflammation, itching, and redness.

This cream is widely recommended by dermatologists for conditions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, sweat rash, and inflamed fungal infections.

• Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungi and yeasts that cause skin infections.

• Hydrocortisone helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching caused by infection.

The powerful combination of these two ingredients ensures quick relief and effective healing from uncomfortable skin conditions.
