When there is a skin infection, it should be used along with appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents, and careful monitoring should be done to ensure symptoms are not worsening. For chronic conditions, other treatment methods in addition to medication should be employed, and the situation must be closely monitored. It should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes, and care should be taken if applying to wounds, eczema, or rash areas as irritation or pain may occur.
