This medication is a treatment for symptom relief and does not address the underlying cause. When applying to areas with skin infections, use appropriate antibiotics or antifungals to prevent the infection from worsening and pay attention to side effects.

This medication should not be used on the eyes or mucosal surfaces, and when applying to damaged skin or areas with eczema or rashes, there may be temporary irritation or pain, so caution is advised.
