I'm dealing with these small red blisters and rashes under and between my breasts, and it's been really troublesome. I've tried using prickly heat powder, antiseptic lotions, and even some liquid treatments, but nothing seems to fully work. Do you think taking a teczine tablet might help with this issue? I would really appreciate any advice or recommendations you have for a cure.

So I totally forgot to keep my Daktacort cream in the fridge like it says I should, and it's been sitting out for about two months. I'm planning to use it now and remembered about the fridge thing. Is it still going to work, or did I mess it up by not refrigerating it right away?

I'm really concerned about whether Candid cream is steroidal or not. Is it safe to use this for treating candidiasis? I want to make sure I'm not using something that's too strong or might cause side effects. Would love some guidance on this!

Candid cream contains Clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections like candidiasis. It is not a steroid cream. You can apply Candid cream topically to the affected area 2-3 times a day for effective treatment of candidiasis.
