Specifications
My two-year-old son was in the midst of a nightmare – a nasty rash had developed after finishing a course of antibiotics, and I'd tried every cream and ointment under the sun, but nothing seemed to work!
I soon realized the rash was getting bigger and seemed to be rising above his skin, and I barely recognized my own child!
Candida. Right side.Candida. Left side.My poor kid was scratching himself incessantly, couldn't sleep at night, crying and banging his head against the floor – it was heartbreaking to see him suffer!
Zirtek provided some temporary relief, but after a week of suffering, I consulted a pediatrician, who confirmed that the rash was a fungal infection – candida. He prescribed Clotrimazole 1%, and I was desperate to try anything.
Clotrimazole 1%.The pharmacist suggested a product from OOO "Ozon", a Russian manufacturer I'd never heard of before.
I had to apply the cream to the affected areas three times a day for three weeks, as prescribed by the doctor – it was a lot to take in, but I was determined to get my son better.
Clotrimazole 1% comes in 20g aluminum tubes, and you can check the ingredients on the packaging – I made sure to read the label carefully before applying it.
A detailed instruction manual is included, which I found really helpful in understanding how to use the cream effectively.
Instruction for use.Indications for use are clearly listed on the packaging – I made sure to follow the instructions carefully.
Indications.Composition and pharmacological properties are also listed on the packaging – I was interested to learn more about how the cream worked.
Active ingredients.I was looking for a fungicide, and Clotrimazole 1% delivered – I applied it generously to make sure it worked its magic.
Clotrimazole 1%.The cream has a texture similar to a lotion, but it becomes white when you rub it into your skin – it was a bit strange at first, but it worked well.
Clotrimazole 1%.I saw the first results after just one day – the itching stopped, and my kid felt a lot better. By the end of the week, the swelling went down, and the rash faded – it was amazing to see the progress!
After a week. Left side.After a week. Right side.The key was to keep my kid dry, especially at night – I'd clean them with soap and apply Clotrimazole to prevent any irritation. I used a liquid soap from Nevskaya Cosmetics, and it worked wonders – it helped to reduce the itching and made Clotrimazole more effective.
By the end of the second week, the rash started to resemble a transparent film that would disappear when I scrubbed it off – it was a sign that the infection was clearing up.
Two weeks in. Left side.Two weeks in. Right side.After two weeks, I noticed redness around the affected areas because I was applying the cream to a 1cm radius of healthy skin – it was a bit of a challenge, but I was determined to get it right.
I had to continue applying Clotrimazole for another two weeks after the affected area had cleared up – it was tough, but it was worth it in the end.
A month has passed now, and the candida hasn't returned – that's a huge win for me!
Full recovery of the skin.
Full recovery of the skin.I used up two tubes of the cream, and I highly recommend it – it's affordable and effective, as long as you've got the patience. And let's be honest, patience and hard work can conquer anything.
