Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream is a dual-action anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory treatment for itchy, inflamed skin infections such as athlete’s foot and sweat rash. It combines miconazole to kill fungi and bacteria with hydrocortisone to reduce redness, irritation and swelling, providing fast, targeted relief.
Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream is a dual-action treatment designed to relieve inflamed fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot and sweat rash. It combines two active ingredients for fast and effective results:
Miconazole – an antifungal agent that destroys the fungi and bacteria responsible for infection
Hydrocortisone (1%) – a mild corticosteroid that quickly reduces redness, itching, irritation and inflammation
This makes Daktacort ideal for infections where the skin is both sore and inflamed.
You may benefit from Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream if you experience:
Itching, stinging or burning between the toes
Cracked, peeling or flaky skin on the feet
Blisters that itch
Dry, scaly patches on the sides or soles of the feet
Sore, irritated skin in sweat-prone areas such as the groin or under breasts
For more guidance on athlete’s foot, see the NHS website.
Do not use this cream if:
You have viral skin conditions (cold sores, herpes, chickenpox)
Your skin is broken or very thin
You have acne or rosacea
You need treatment on the face, genitals, or anus (unless a doctor has directed otherwise)
You are treating ringworm (requires antifungal-only treatment)
You are under 10 years old, unless advised by a GP
You intend to use it for more than 7 days
You plan to apply it to large areas or under occlusive dressings
Apply a small amount to the affected area twice daily
Gently massage until absorbed
Wash hands after use (unless treating hands)
Wash and dry the area thoroughly before applying
Use a separate towel for infected skin to prevent spread

Daktacort is used to treat inflamed fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, sweat rash, and infected eczema. It works by killing fungi and reducing inflammation.
Daktacort should be used for a maximum of 7 days unless your doctor advises otherwise. If symptoms do not improve after 1 week, seek medical advice.
No. Daktacort should not be applied to the face, genital area or broken skin unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
It should not be used on children under 10 years old without a doctor’s supervision.
No. Ringworm must be treated with an antifungal-only cream such as terbinafine or clotrimazole. Daktacort contains steroids and is not suitable.
Many people notice improvement within 24-48 hours, but continue using for the full 7 days to prevent recurrence.
Side effects are rare but may include mild burning, itching or irritation. Stop using and seek advice if the area becomes worse or swollen.
Do not use Daktacort with other steroid creams. You can switch to an antifungal-only cream after the inflammation settles, if needed.
Consult your GP or pharmacist before using Daktacort if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Keep below 25°C, store in the original packaging, and keep out of reach of children.
