Rinse the area being treated before use to remove any dirt or loose skin, apply a thin layer of cream, gently massage it into the skin, and allow any excess cream to evaporate. Wash your hands with soap and water after each application to prevent the medicine from contacting any areas not being treated or the mucous membranes.
