What is the Active ingredient in Daktarin Intensive and What does it do?
Daktarin Aktiv contains the active ingredient Ketoconazole which works by killing the fungi and bacteria which cause the infection in the first place. It kills the fungi by targeting the fungal cells and making holes in their membranes causing them to die. This prevents further spread of the infection and heals the treated areas.
What is an Athletes's foot?
An athlete’s foot is a fungal skin infection. This happens when the natural fungi on your skin are allowed to multiply and cause infection. This usually happens if you have feet that sweat a lot and wear tight-fitting shoes. This warm, moist environment is the perfect place for these fungi to thrive, causing a sore and itchy rash when your skin is infected.
What causes Athlete's Foot?
Athlete's foot is caused by fungi that thrive in warm and moist environments; such as:
Changing rooms
Showers
Public pools
Walking barefoot in these places can put you at greater risk. Athlete’s foot usually occurs between your toes, but it can also affect the soles and sides of your feet.
What symptoms should I look out for if I have athlete's foot:
Burning or itchy feet and toes
Scaly, very dry, cracked, or peeling feet
A scaly, red foot rash
Softening of the skin between your toes
whitening of the skin between your toes
Cracked skin between your toes (may bleed)
Smelly feet
What is Dhobie Itch/tinea cruris (Jock itch)?
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection that causes a red and itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body. The rash often affects the groin and inner thighs and may be shaped like a ring. Jock itch gets its name because it's common in athletes. It's also common in people who sweat a lot or who are overweight.
