  5. Ive been prescribed "Candid LA ointment" for my penis, but the tube I got doesnt say LA, nor does it mention Candid B. Are these two different creams? Also, Im not sure how to apply it properly. Should I retract the foreskin, apply the cream, and then restore the foreskin, or should I apply the cream, wash it off, and then put the foreskin back?
