Daktacort

Has anyone any experience with this cream? Our GP has prescribed it for our 2.5yo but we think they maybe shouldn't have...

Daughter has been really constipated recently so we took her to see the GP. They gave us some Movicol for the constipation but also said she had a fissure and gave us some Daktacort with the instruction to spread it on every day before bed. Which we've done, but she is now really really sore. Not like nappy rash, more tender. Quick google on daktacort turned up a site which said it was only for Athletes foot and shouldn't be used on face, genitals or anus... Which is quite worrying!

Has anyone had any experience with this stuff, before we go storming up to the doctors tomorrow?

We had daktacort for DS's eczema around his groin area prescribed for us by the dermatologist. I can't work out why they've given it to you for a fissure, that makes no sense as its an anti fungal and a steroid. What are they expecting it to do?

DS had it for infected eczema as well.
