Daktarin Aktiv spray powder, cream and powder all treat
athlete's foot. The Daktarin Aktiv range is located in front of the
pharmacy counter and can be found in most grocery stores in the foot care
section.
Daktarin Gold treats athlete's foot, jock itch and sweat rash and
is available behind the pharmacy counter.
Daktacort™ Hydrocortisone Cream can be used to treat infected sweat rash,
it quickly eases the inflammation as well as treating the fungal infection.
Daktarin powder and cream treat other fungal skin conditions like jock
itch (dhobie itch), infected nappy rash, ringworm and sweat rash. Both
of these products can be found behind the pharmacy counter.
There are three main types of fungi that can cause athlete's
foot and it is unlikely that you will know which one is responsible in your
case. Therefore, you need a treatment that is effective against all three
types of fungi. Miconazole nitrate, the active ingredient found in the Daktarin Aktiv range and ketoconazole, the active ingredient in Daktarin Gold
have both been clinically proven to be effective against all three of these
fungi.
The Daktarin Aktiv range contains an effective anti-fungal
agent which also has a secondary anti-bacterial activity. Not only does
it treat the cause of athlete's foot, it also has an effect on Secondary bacterial infections. This prevents the fungi that cause athlete's
foot from spreading which results in these fungi eventually dying off.
Daktarin Gold works in the outer layer of the skin. This enables
it to directly target the infection that causes athlete's foot. Even
after just one week of treatment*, the active ingredient continues to work
for weeks and weeks to help keep you free from athlete's foot.
*in most cases
Daktacort™ Hydrocortisone Cream gets to work quickly to relieve
both aspects of infected, inflamed sweat rash, easing the inflammation,
redness and itching and treating the fungal and bacterial infection.
Research indicates that the effects of Daktarin Gold lasts for
up to eight weeks from the start of the one week treatment.

Symptoms are more likely to re-occur if you do not follow the instructions on the pack. In many cases the fungi that cause the condition
may still be present even though you can not see any sign of the infection
remaining. Therefore, it is important not to discontinue treatment as soon
as the symptoms have disappeared.
As it looks and feels unpleasant, athlete's foot is quite hard
to ignore. However, if it isn't treated, the skin can crack leaving
it open to bacterial infections. Bacteria can then grow and spread over
the feet, which can lead to an unpleasant smell adding to your discomfort.
As most people with smelly feet prefer to keep their shoes on, athlete's
foot just gets worse because the fungi that cause athlete's foot
thrive in warm, moist conditions.
The Daktarin Aktiv range is available in Boots, large Sainsbury's,
Superdrug, Asda, large Waitrose stores and all leading pharmacies.
Daktarin Gold and Daktacort™ Hydrocortisone Cream are available over the
counter in pharmacies.
You can also purchase any of the products from the Daktarin range online.
