Candid
Gold Dusting Powder is a combination of two medicines: Allantoin and
Clotrimazole. Allantoin is a skin protectant that moisturizes the skin
and relieves minor irritation. Clotrimazole is an antifungal. It works
by stopping the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from
forming their own protective covering. This treats your infection.
