Daktarin is used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot and ringworm, which appear as circular, scaly patches on the skin. It is also used to treat yeast infections that may affect areas such as under the breasts or sensitive areas. In some forms, the preparation is equivalent to treating fungal infections that target the mouth, such as oral thrush, a common fungal infection of the mucous membranes inside the mouth.
Daktarin is often prescribed by doctors for topical use, and it comes in various forms, such as a cream, gel, or spray, depending on the location and type of infection.
