Daktarin Powder (miconazole nitrate) is a widely-used topical antifungal treatment effective at eliminating common fungal skin infections. It can be used in patients of all ages.

People regularly buy Daktarin Powder to treat:

• Ringworm
• Candidiasis
• Athlete's foot
• Groin infections
• Other fungal skin infections

This product provides a beneficial alternative to creams, gels or foams, all of which contain moisture. Many fungal infections occur in areas prone to retaining moisture, and making the area even more moist can dramatically exacerbate the condition. In powder form, however, the medication helps to keep the skin dry and promote healing. Patients often buy Daktarin Powder to treat infections in the groin, armpits, skin folds, feet, beneath breasts and so forth.

Moisture is not a requirement for using Daktarin Powder, however---it may be used in place of creams, gels or other formulations in most fungal infections if desired.

Fighting Fungal Infections with Daktarin Powder

Daktarin powder will kill any fungi it comes into contact with by destroying fungal cell integrity. The powder should be applied directly to infected skin and extend a short way beyond to healthy tissue. Adding the powder to shoes, socks, clothing or other materials that come into contact with infected areas will also help destroy fungi and keep skin dry.

The powder is typically applied twice a day, morning and evening. Skin should be clean and dry before application. Simply sprinkle the powder on the affected area.

Treatment should continue until all symptoms of the infection are completely gone, and then for an additional 10 days to ensure complete eradication. Infections may clear up in a few days or a few weeks; it depends on the type and severity of the infection. Symptom improvements should be noticeable after the first few applications.

If the infection worsens during treatment a doctor should be consulted.

When Not to Buy Daktarin Powder

As important as knowing when to use Daktarin Powder is knowing when not to use it. The medication is effective on most fungal skin infections, but should not be used to treat:

• Mucous membranes - the powder's drying properties can cause irritation. Try Daktarin Oral Gel for fungal infections in the mouth or throat, and for vaginal yeast infections there are a number of vaginal creams or vaginal inserts available.
• Deep wounds - the powder may be applied to small areas of broken skin, but if applied to deep wounds its drying effect may interfere with healing, and relatively large amounts of medication may enter the bloodstream, potentially causing unpleasant side effects.
• Nail infections - Daktarin Powder is a poor choice for treating fungal nail infections as it simply doesn't stay in place well on smooth nail surfaces. Try Daktarin Cream or Daktarin Tincture to treat nails.
• Scalp infections - Again the powder does not stay in place well on the scalp, not to mention most people probably don't care to go around with a powdered head. Try antifungal shampoos or Daktarin Cream to treat fungal infections on the scalp.

The medication is extremely unlikely to produce severe side effects, interact with other medications, or cause complications in preexisting medical conditions. It is also very unlikely to cause problems in unborn or nursing babies, but moms may want to discuss possible risks with doctor just in case.
