Types of Fungal skin infections Daktarin Gold Cream is Effective against
Athlete’s Foot
If you have Athlete’s Foot, the skin between your toes will be red and itchy. Your skin may flake and crack and often the infection causes an unpleasant ‘cheesy’ smell. It is encouraged by moist, warm conditions and can be recognised by redness, irritation and itchiness between the toes.
Dhobie’s Itch
Tinea cruris or Dhobie Itch is a fungal infection that occurs in the groin area and causes intense itching and inflammation (redness and soreness). In men, the skin of the scrotum is often affected.
Sweat Rash
Candidal intertrigo or sweat rash which has been infected with a yeast infection (‘thrush’) is usually found under the breasts and where fleshy areas around the waist or under the armpits become damp with perspiration between the deep folds of skin. The skin area becomes red and sore and it often looks like moisture is coming from the surface.
This medicine is for use in adults.

spreading the infection to other parts of the body or to other
people. Similarly, clothing which comes into contact with the
infected areas, such as socks, should be washed and changed
frequently.

a few days after signs of infection have cleared to prevent
them coming back.

Rub the cream into the affected and surrounding area once or twice daily
Continue treatment for a few days after signs of infection have
