Reviews
Began to use the cream (according to the instructions: 2 times a day) with each change of diaper. I want to note that the cream is rather greasy to the touch, but it is applied evenly and without any difficulties. The first improvements we noticed on the third day. However, as the doctor explained to us, the course should be continued for 4 weeks, even if all the symptoms of the disease disappear.
One tube was enough for one month.
If your baby has diaper rash, immediately ask your doctor about the use of Candida ointment. Very well helps. My wife and I were satisfied.
