Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream (15g Tube):  gets to work quickly to relieve both aspects of infected, inflamed sweat rash, easing the inflammation, redness and itching. It can also be used to treat the fungal and bacterial infection caused by athlete's foot.

Daktacort's uses in more detail:

• Athletes Foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection causing soreness, itching and flaking between the toes or on the soles or sides of the feet
• Sweat rash (candida intertrigo, or 'thrush' of the skin folds) is a sore, itchy red rash found in areas where the skin rubs together e.g. below or between the breasts, underarms, tops of legs or the groin or other skin areas.

Daktacort hydrocortisone cream contains two active ingredients, miconazole and hydrocortisone: 

• Miconazole is a type of antifungal medicine. It kills fungi, yeasts and some bacteria (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species). 
• Hydrocortisone is used to decrease inflammation in the skin. When applied to the skin it is absorbed into the skin cells. It reduces inflammation and thus relieves swelling, redness and itching.

Wash infected skin and dry thoroughly.
