Question 1

i have white spots on my stomach and back. i applied daktarin but it seemed to have spreaded even more. what else should i do to cure it?

Accepted Answer

What's the cause?: Read up in guttate hypomelanosis, vitiligo, and tinea versicolor. The last is the most common and it's extremely easy to treat if you wish (blue dandruff shampoo or ketoconazole).

Question 2

i have a severe toenail fungal infection which has not been cured by daktarin tincture used for months.is loceryl gaurenteed to work better.

Accepted Answer

No: The active ingredients are different. All tropicals have a low cure rate. See your doctor to possibly get an oral medication for a better result.

Question 3

does daktarin helps in mucocele?

Accepted Answer

Probably not..: Unless the mucocele is being caused by a fungus of some sort.  I doubt it.

Question 4

is it safe for daktarin be taken with xyzal (levocetirizine)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Daktarin is miconazole, a topical antifungal agent. Xyzal (levocetirizine) is an isomer of zyrtec and is an antihistamine.

Question 5

i have a white oval patch on my stomach that's now spread to a number of places on my body been using daktarin from my doctor but no difference?

Accepted Answer

Skin issues: Unfortunately, for a correct diagnosis, visual inspection is paramount. Either upload pictures and choose a paid consult to send it over to a provider or go back to your local physician and explain the failure of the prescribed therapy requesting re-evaluation or referral to a specialist.

Question 6

i'm using daktarin for cuts on my foreskin but i have many scars and the cuts heal slowly or not at all. how do i heal them both without circumcision?

Accepted Answer

See a urologist: Or dermatologist. No harm using miconazole but this is useful to clear yeast or fungus, not cuts. Why do you have cuts???? Sounds like you will better off after circumcision. This is a quick, easy procedure.

Question 7

1y with oral thrush.i've used daktarin,no effect.i finished 14 days ketoconazol, but immediately finished, tongue seems the same.is it healde desease?

Accepted Answer

Mgt/workup: If the thrush has persisted, then another course of anti fungal medication may be used. If your child experiences no improvement or has had multiple other infections, I would ask your PCP to consider an immune workup.

Question 8

hairloss and eyebrows and lashes itchy. went to dermatology precribe me ketrozol and trbinafine daktarin for eyebrows and dermovate selsun shampoor?

Accepted Answer

First you probably: need blood work to rule out thyroid problems. topical antifunals can help with itchy brows and lashes, but you many need a steroid as well. Selsun shampoo probably won't do much. Try your meds for three weeks, if not better see derm in follow-uo

Question 9

how long does it take to get rid of thrush with daktarin gel?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Daktarin oral gel is Miconazole 2%.  It usually takes several days to see improvement but you should not stop using it once it has improved. Continue taking it for several days after it has resolved to help prevent recurrence.
Mycelex troches can also be used and are probably easier to use since they are lozenges that you let slowly dissolve in your mouth.

Question 10

i've been prescribed daktarin oral gel for oral thrush, can it cause liver problems in healthy people?

Accepted Answer

: Daktarin, or miconazole, is an antifungal prescribed for mild oropharyngeal candidiasis. There is no significant adverse side effects to the liver while taking this medication for short term, however caution is advised if there is pre-existing liver disease
