Brief Answer:
Do not use Daktacort on unbroken skin.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
Yes certainly you should not use Daktacort on broken skin.
This can flare up the infection.
You possibly seem to have mixed bacterial and fungal infection.
For this I advise you to go for tab Doxycycline 200 mg twice a day on day 1 followed by 100 mg twice a day from day 2 for 5 days.
Continue diflucan 150 mg as prescribed.
Please note these drugs have to be taken under medical supervision.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
