This is an inflammatory skin disorder,Daktacort cream is used to treat skin eczema Articles which causes blisters, redness, and dryness on the skin. If the infected area is scratched, the skin there gets thickened. Daktacort cream contains hydrocortisone and miconazole. These two ingredients of the cream act on the two different aspects of eczema. While hydrocortisone controls inflammation, miconazole attacks fungi, yeasts and bacteria.

Fungi and bacteria produce a substance called ergosterol, a very important part of their cell membranes. With the help of cell membranes, Fungi and yeasts protect themselves from external toxin threats. When these cell membranes get weakened by the non-production of ergosterol, they become weak and dotted with holes. Consequently, external toxins invade the fungi and yeasts and kill them along with the infection also. Miconazole is a widely used treatment for fungi as well as bacterial infection involving Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.

Hydrocortisone is like corticosteroid, a naturally occurring hormone in the adrenal glands. Corticosteriod produced in the body controls inflammation in addition to doing other activities. Like corticosteroid, the function of hydrocortisone is to control inflammation. Upon application on the skin, Hydrocortisone essentially prevents the secretion of some chemicals which are released in response to any irritation. These chemicals enlarge the blood vessels and make the skin swollen and itchy. Because hydrocortisone prevents the release of the concerned chemicals, inflammation naturally gets reduced and relief is achieved from the condition of eczema.

When you buy Daktacort, you get for yourself a very potent combination against inflammatory conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Combined together, these two ingredients of Daktacort comprehensively work on the whole eco-system of inflammatory skin conditions. One ingredient stops the inflammation and the other gets set to remove the infection.

Instructions for using Daktacort cream:

Before you begin to use the cream, make sure that your hands are completely clean. Get the cream to spread thinly and completely over the areas of infection. To enable absorption, lightly rub the cream over the infected place. Do not forget to apply the cream twice daily. After using the cream, wash your hands thoroughly.

The cream treatment should not be continued for more than a week, and if the symptoms continue, consult your doctor for further advice.
