Can You Use Daktozin On A Toddler's Face ?
My 19 month old toddler (girl) has a rash around her mouth that has spread to below her nose. It has been present for over 2 weeks. Ive been using dermaid for a week but it is not clearing I think it must be a fungal infection , Can you use daktozin on the face?

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
As such there is no harm in using Daktozin ointment as it is a antifungal and contains Miconizole as the active ingredient.Although it is safe to use it but it is always better to consult a Paediatrician.So presently you can use it till you get an appointment with a Paediatrician and when you get the appointment and if there is no improvement in the rash then consult him.
Thanks
