Daktagold (ketaconazole) is a highly-effective topical antifungal cream used to eradicate fungal infections on the skin. Significant improvements are often noticed within the first day or two of starting treatment. Though the product's active ingredient, ketaconazole (also spelled ketoconazole), is rarely used systemically anymore, it remains a widely-used topical treatment in the form of creams, gels, foams and shampoos. In most areas a prescription is not needed to buy Daktagold or similar topical antifungal treatments. Getting the Most from Daktagold Daktagold is easy to use and effective against most common fungal infections of the skin, including:

• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Athlete's foot (tinea pedis)
• Tinea versicolor
• Cutaneous candidiasis
• Seborrheic dermatitis

Note that seborrheic dermatitis, which causes flaking of the skin, is known as dandruff when affecting the scalp. Patients with fungal infections of the hair or scalp should use an antifungal shampoo; buy Daktagold cream to treat seborrheic dermatitis on other areas of the body. Treatment is similar in all conditions, with the greatest variant being duration. Rough guidelines are as follows:

• Ringworm (tinea corporis) - apply cream once daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 2 weeks.
• Jock itch (tinea cruris) - apply cream once daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 2 weeks.
• Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) - apply cream once daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 6 weeks.
• Tinea versicolor - apply cream once daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 2 weeks.
• Cutaneous candidiasis - apply cream once daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 2 weeks.
• Seborrheic dermatitis - apply cream twice daily to affected area and surrounding healthy skin for 4 weeks.

In many cases the infection will appear to clear up after just a day or two of use. It's important to continue treatment beyond that point---ideally treatment will continue for 14 days after symptoms have disappeared. Stopping treatment sooner may result in a resurgence of the infection as well as contribute to resistant fungi. The treatment lengths listed above may be extended if needed, provided the condition continues to improve. If there are no signs of improvement after the first few treatments, or if the condition worsens at any point, a doctor should be consulted or alternative options explored. Side Effects Side effects are rare with Daktagold, but a small percentage of patients do experience mild to severe stinging, itching or irritation at the application site. Mild, brief stinging is relatively normal, but if it is severe or lasts longer than a few moments it may be worth considering other treatment options. Do not buy Daktagold to treat infections that are not fungal; the medication will have no effect. Do not apply Daktagold to mucous membranes or open wounds; this greatly increases the risk of potentially serious side effects. The medication is unlikely to interact with other drugs unless it is mixed with other topical treatments, which may reduce the effectiveness of one or more of the medications. There are no dietary concerns with topical use. Topical use is unlikely to harm unborn or nursing babies.
