Daktarin 2% Cream contains miconazole, an antifungal medicine used to treat skin infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and infected nappy rash. It works by damaging the cell membranes of the fungi and certain bacteria, stopping their growth and eventually destroying them. Daktarin Cream also helps relieve symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation. It is applied thinly to the affected area twice daily and should be used for the full recommended course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. Suitable for adults and children, it provides targeted relief from fungal and associated bacterial infections.
