Hi Unknown male,
It is nice that you have been diagnosed and treatment is been implemented. Is it cream being prescribed to you? Daktarin cream contains the active ingredient Miconazole. Miconazole is an antifungal medicine used to treat infections with fungi and yeasts.
Miconazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the fungal cell membrane, causing holes to appear in it.
Miconazole also has some antibacterial action and kills certain bacteria that may also be present in the infection.
This medicine is for external use only. It should not be taken by or used inside the mouth. Avoid contact with the eyes.
Wash and dry the skin thoroughly before applying the cream. Unless the infected skin is on your hands, wash your hands after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other areas of the body, or to other people. It is important to keep using this medicine for ten days after the symptoms of the infection have cleared up. This is to ensure that the infection is fully treated and thus prevent it coming back. If symptoms persist consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
Hey Everyone I went the doctors it turn out I had Tinea
Which is a yeast infect, he's give me Daktarin, he say its should get rid of it with thin 4 weeks at most. Cause yeast infectiona are harder to kill.
Apparently putting trimovate or steriod cream on it made it worse even through the symptoms went down. The infection is still there but makes it harder to notice
Does anyone have any advice on this
thanks
