Directions for Use
For external use. Wash and dry your hands and the affected skin, then apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice a day for a short course (usually up to about 7 days), and rub in gently. Wash your hands after applying (unless treating the hands). Use only on the area advised, and do not use it on large areas or for long periods without medical advice.
Use short-term only. Avoid prolonged use, and avoid the face, eyes, genitals and broken skin unless a doctor directs, as overuse or use on delicate areas can thin the skin. Do NOT use on infected skin (such as cold sores, impetigo, athlete's foot or thrush) or on acne/rosacea unless told to. Not for young children's nappy rash unless advised. Stop and seek advice if the skin worsens or does not improve in about a week. Store below 25°C. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice. Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
