Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream is used to treat inflamed sweat rash and Athlete’s Foot skin infections.

Suitable for

It is suitable for adults and children aged 10 years and over.

How to use

Do not give to children under 10 years, unless your doctor has told you to.

Wash the infected area and dry it well. As many skin conditions are contagious, you should keep a towel and flannel for your own use
and not share it so that you do not infect anyone else. Apply the cream onto the infected area and surrounding skin. Unless the infected skin is on your hands, wash your hands carefully after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other parts of the body or to other people. Similarly, clothing which comes into contact with the infected areas, such as socks, should be washed and changed frequently.

Adults and children aged 10 years and over: Put a small amount of the cream on the affected area twice daily. Rub it in.

Do not use if your skin is broken, on large areas of your body or for more than 7 days.

Hazards and Cautions

Daktacort Hydrocortisone Cream can cause thinning of the skin when used for a long time without a break. Because thinning of the skin happens naturally in older people, this medicine should be used sparingly for up to 7 days.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist.

Seek advice before using if you are breast feeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies.

Skin irritation, burning sensation, itchy skin, hives (also known as nettle rash or urticaria), blurred vision, sensitivity reactions at the site of application, skin rash, redness, inflammation or lighter patches of skin.
