Normally, you should wash and dry the afflicted region well before putting a thin coating of this medication to it. Follow the recommendations of your doctor. It should not be used to damaged or broken skin, and it should be avoided coming into contact with your lips, eyes, or nose. It may take many weeks for your symptoms to subside, but continue to use it on a daily basis to get the most benefit. If you have not seen any improvement after a few weeks, you should consult your doctor again. Taking more medicine or applying it more often than recommended will not help it work any quicker and may instead worsen the negative effects of the medication. Among the most frequent adverse effects include irritation, skin dryness, and redness of the face and hands. They are typically moderate and get less severe as your body becomes used to the medication. Drink lots of water and apply moisturiser to your skin since dehydration may cause dryness in your mouth, lips, and eyes. Inform your doctor if any of these adverse effects concern you or if they do not subside. Serious adverse effects associated with this medication are very uncommon. Because this medication may make you more sensitive to sunlight, you should avoid being outside in the sun if at all possible. It has the potential to make your skin more brittle.
