1 What the medicine is for
Daktarin Powder is a medicine which is used to
treat infections of the skin which may appear on the
hands, feet, outer ear, trunk or groin. It is also used
to treat nappy rash. The powder contains miconazole
nitrate which works by destroying both the fungus
that causes the infection and some of the associated

helps to dry the skin as well as treat the infection.
This medicine is for use in adults and children of
