If skin infections, irritation, rashes, itching, or skin changes occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Prolonged use may result in side effects such as skin atrophy, telangiectasia, or steroid acne, so the dosage should be gradually reduced or switched to another medication. Extensive or prolonged use of this drug with occlusive dressings may lead to systemic side effects, such as suppression of pituitary and adrenal functions, and caution is advised.
