Thorough handwashing is crucial before and after use for optimal effectiveness. Consistent use maximizes benefits; exceeding the recommended dosage won't hasten recovery and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances treatment efficacy. Possible side effects include local skin irritation, redness, or itching. Persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush immediately with water and seek medical advice.
