About Candid-K Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Candid-K Anti-Dandruff Shampoo belongs to a class of dermatological medication called 'antifungal' primarily used to prevent fungal infections of the skin like seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears). Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dandruff that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands, such as the scalp, face, back, and upper chest.
Fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Candid-K Anti-Dandruff Shampoo works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi, thereby slowing the growth of dandruff on the scalp.
