• All dermatomycoses due to yeasts (Candida species).
• Skin diseases showing secondary infection with these fungi

Pharmacology

Hydrocortisone, a weak corticosteroid with both glucocorticoid and to a lesser extent mineralocorticoid activity, has antiphlogistic, antipruriginous, antiexudative and antiallergic effects.
