How it works
Celinium Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Clotrimazole and Selenium. Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause infection and reducing their numbers. This treats your infection. Selenium is a mineral that reduces damage caused to the skin due to infection, decreases flaking or scaling of the skin and helps in formation of new skin.
