Hi & Welcome to HCM.

Daktacort contains Antifungal Miconazole and a steroid Hydrocortisone.
Daktarin contains the antifungal Miconazole.

Both are effective in the treatment of fungal infections involving the skin and mucous membranes.
Daktacort is useful if there is associated redness, itching, swelling, etc.
Continue using Daktarin creams, if there is no response Terbinafine containing creams are effective.

Hope to have answered your query.
Regards.
