FAQs
Most regimens call for a thin layer once or twice daily on the affected area, but follow the directions provided with your prescription.
It is generally not recommended for facial skin unless specifically directed by a physician, because the skin on the face is thinner and more sensitive.
Treatment duration varies; many patients use it for up to two weeks. Extended use should be supervised by a healthcare provider to avoid side effects.
Unless instructed otherwise, leave the area uncovered. Occlusive dressings can increase absorption and raise the risk of adverse reactions.
Possible reactions include burning, dryness, or skin thinning. Report persistent irritation or signs of infection to your prescriber promptly.
