Addressing your issue as much as we can. If a dermatologist has advised to apply candid B then its Ok to apply even in periods otherwise dont apply. Also do not keep applying it for longer duration without his advice as it has side effects too.
Next Steps
Take a follow up with your consulting doctor or we are open for online consultation too.
Health Tips
Avoid using damp cloths, avoid washing with harsh soap.
