Apply only to the affected skin area, which should be clean and dry. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. Always wash hands before and after application. Consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Avoid exceeding the recommended amount; this won't hasten recovery and may increase side effects.

Common side effects include headache and application site discomfort. Report any bothersome or persistent side effects.
