Do not apply on open cuts or broken skin as this can lead to increase in side effects. It may cause redness, dryness, burning, pain, erosion, and swelling that may continue for two or more weeks after treatment is over. Inform your doctor if it does not go away. It may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid exposing your skin to strong sunlight, use a sunscreen lotion or make sure your skin is protected with clothing.
