Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream is a dual-action topical treatment used to manage inflamed skin conditions with a fungal component. It is commonly prescribed for cases of infected eczema, athlete’s foot, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. The cream is suitable for adults and children over 10 years of age when recommended by a doctor. It helps to relieve inflammation, itching, and redness while also treating the underlying fungal infection that may be worsening the condition.
How It Works
Daktacort combines two active ingredients: miconazole nitrate and hydrocortisone. Miconazole is a powerful antifungal agent that kills fungi and yeasts responsible for skin infections, while also having antibacterial properties. Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching by calming the immune response at the site of application. This targeted combination treats both symptoms and cause, helping skin heal more quickly and comfortably.
Why Choose Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream
Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream for fungal skin infections offers fast, effective dual-action relief. It is trusted by healthcare professionals across the UK and is ideal for short-term use in treating inflamed skin where fungal infection is present or suspected. The cream is smooth and easy to apply, with a non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly. It can be used on areas like the feet, groin, and body (excluding the face unless advised by a GP). By addressing both itching and infection simultaneously, Daktacort reduces the need for multiple separate treatments.
Important Note
Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream should only be used for a short course—typically up to 7 days unless otherwise advised. Avoid using on broken or heavily weeping skin. Do not apply to the eyes, face, or mucous membranes unless prescribed for those areas. Store the cream below 25°C and keep away from direct heat or sunlight. If symptoms persist or worsen after several days of use, stop the treatment and speak with a healthcare professional.
