Hi,
Candid dusting powder helps in the treatment of fungus infection due to sweating and accumulation of excessive moisture. Prevents itching in intimate parts of body. Treats itching and irritation in under arms, inner thighs, waist lines and foot as well as prevents fungal infections by keeping the body dry and clean.
Though, some times candid powder may cause localized itching, redness or irritation etc., but these are usually self going side effects, which go after some time of stoppage of its use. However, no systemic effects on the body have been documented by the use of candid powder, on pregnant as well as non-pregnant women. Hence it may be safely used during pregnancy, if there is no local side effect.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
