Hello,

After reading your query it appears to be a case of fungal infection with steroid abuse.

Candid B cream contains a steroid beclomethasone which causes dependence and therefore gives relief only till the time when anyone applies and then causes recurrence.

In such a cases I suggest to stop the steroid based creams as can cause lot of damage to the skin.

A plane anti-fungal cream should be applied in this cases such as ketoconazole or plane clotrimazole.

Maintain good hygiene and wear cotton clothes to reduce further recurrence.

All the best.
