Miconazole is unlikely to be absorbed through the skin in sufficient amounts to significantly affect other medicines that you are taking by mouth. Unless the infected skin is on your hands, wash your hands after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other areas of the body, or to other people.

Although many types of fungi live harmlessly on our skin, some can cause infections. The most common fungi to cause skin infections are the tinea group of fungi. Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection of the toes and feet caused by a fungus from this group. Infections caused by a fungus or a yeast (a type of fungus) can affect other parts of the body too - some examples are fungal nappy rash, fungal groin infections, fungal nail infections, and fungal sweat rashes. Miconazole eases the symptoms of skin infections such as these by killing the fungi causing the infection. Adverse drug reactions from spontaneous reports during the worldwide postmarketing experience with Daktarin that meet threshold criteria are included. The adverse drug reactions are ranked by frequency, using the following convention: For nail infections, the cream should be applied to the affected nail(s) once or twice a day. Rub it in gently to the nail and surrounding skin. For treating fungal infections on other (or multiple) parts of your body try Daktarin 2% Cream , Daktarin 2% w/w Cream, and Daktarin Powder which can be used on the hands, feet, nails, outer ear, trunk, and groin. If you wish to dry the skin at the infected area then try Daktarin Powder. However, for a more moisturised application try one of the Daktarin 2% creams which will allow for a smooth application.
