Daktarin 2% Cream is a medicine which is used in the treatment of fungal and associated bacterial infections of the skin and nails. Skin infections may appear on the hands, feet, outer ear, trunk or groin and include athlete's foot, dhobie itch and intertrigo. Daktarin 2% Cream is also effective against infected nappy rash.
