Before applying the cream
Wash the infected skin and dry it well each time you use the cream. As many skin conditions are infectious, you should keep a towel and a flannel for your own use so that you do not infect anyone else.

After applying the cream
Unless the infected skin is on your hands, wash your hands carefully to avoid spreading the infection to other parts of the body or to other people. Similarly, clothing which comes into contact with the infected areas should be washed and changed frequently.

How much to use
Your pharmacist or doctor will tell you when to use and how often to apply MICREME H. It is important that you apply MICREME H exactly as directed by your pharmacist or doctor. Do not use more than the recommended dose.

Unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you otherwise, MICREME H should be applied sparingly once or twice daily to the affected areas of your body and rubbed gently with a finger into the skin.
