Suggest Treatment For Itchy Mark On The Forearm
Question: There is a small mark on my right forearm that I want to get rid of. It used to itch when I applied Candid-B for about 5 days. There is no itching now but there is a small mark left(attached photos).Please let me know what should I do to get rid of the mark.
Brief Answer:
Use candid for alteast 2 weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your query.
Thanks for uploading the snaps.I would recommend to use candid-b for atleast 2-4 weeks though itching has subsided; this will result in subsidence of yeast infection and resolution of the mark.Resolution of itching does not mean the infection is treated completely.
Yeast infection needs to be treated for atleast 2-4 weeks for complete cure, post which the mark will disappear by itself.Donot pop the blemish since it will result in permanent ugly scar when it heals.
Hope this answers your query.Good luck.
