Daktarin Gold Cream

Daktarin Gold Cream works in the outer layer of the skin to treat fungal infection. This enables it to directly target the fungal infection that causes athlete's foot. Even after just one week of treatment, the active ingredient continues to work for weeks and weeks to help keep you free from athlete's foot. Research indicates that the effects of Daktarin Gold lasts for up to eight weeks from the start of the one week treatment. It is the ideal product to treat your symptoms easily.
