How to apply the cream
- Wash the infected area and dry it well. As many skin conditions are contagious, you should keep a towel and flannel for your own use and not share it so that you do not infect anyone else.
- Apply the cream onto the infected area and surrounding skin.
- Wash your hands carefully after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other parts of the body or to other people. Similarly, clothing which comes into contact with the infected areas, such as socks, should be washed and changed frequently
- Continue treatment until the lesions have completely healed.
- If symptoms persist talk to your doctor.
- If the powder is used with the cream, a once daily application of both formulations is recommended.
- The duration of therapy varies from 2 to 6 weeks depending on the localisation and severity of the lesion. Treatment should continue for at least one week after the disappearance of all signs and symptoms.
Warning - Do not exceed stated dose
