You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as it will not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased.

You can help this medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.

Quick Tips
Finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. It can take a few weeks for the infection to clear and a few months before the skin returns to its normal color. It is not taken orally so it does not cause many side effects. Apply an amount sufficient to cover the affected area and 1 inch of the immediate surrounding skin. Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after four weeks of treatment.
