I used Candid B for itching last week and now my home pregnancy test has a faint line. I am wondering if the cream can affect the result or if it is actually positive. Has anyone had this doubt?
These creams act locally on the skin, they don't enter the bloodstream enough to change a test result. If you're seeing a faint or full positive, best to do a repeat test and visit doctor.
I used to panic about every little thing affecting my tests too. But no, antifungal creams don't do that. Take a deep breath and just retest or call the clinic.
No, Candid B is a cream for fungal infection, it has nothing to do with hCG so it can't make a test positive. If you got a positive please confirm with your doctor and a blood test to be sure.
Candid B is just an antifungal cream, it doesn't affect pregnancy tests at all. A positive test means the hormone is there. Go get it confirmed by your gynac.
