Do not keep out-of-date or unwanted medicines. Take them to your local pharmacy which will dispose of them for you. 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.

If you have been given miconazole to treat a skin infection, apply a small amount to the affected area twice each day (ideally, in the morning and the evening). Rub the cream/ointment in gently.
