Apply a tiny amount of miconazole to the affected area twice a day, preferably in the morning and the evening, if you have been prescribed it to treat a skin infection. Gently massage the ointment or cream in.

 • Apply miconazole cream once or twice a day to the affected nail if you're using it to treat a nail infection.
