Do not apply to broken, diseased, infected, inflamed or irritated skin, or to open wounds. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It may increase the risk of sunburn. Avoid exposing the treated area of skin to excessive sunlight.
