This medication is used as a topical application on the skin. Do not use if you have a known allergy or have experienced hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. It's advised not to use this medication if you have open wounds or inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema. Sunburned skin must be fully healed before using this medication, and it should be noted that sun exposure may increase skin sensitivity. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should not use this medication. Caution should be exercised when using this medication as it contains propylene glycol, especially if there is known allergy to it. During use, skin may become red, swollen, or show irritation such as itching; if these symptoms are severe, use should be discontinued or adjusted. If dryness, burning sensations, rashes, or peeling occurs, it is recommended to wait until symptoms subside before resuming use. Rarely, contact allergic reactions may occur, so consult a healthcare professional if any unusual symptoms arise. Prolonged use may temporarily alter skin pigmentation and increase sensitivity to sunlight. Caution should be taken in cold weather or dry environments as skin irritation may worsen. Transient skin changes may appear in the early stages of treatment, which could be a normal reaction linked to the effectiveness of the medication. If severe skin irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a doctor or pharmacist. During the use of this medication, avoid exposure to artificial ultraviolet lamps or strong sunlight, and if unavoidable, use a sunscreen. Cosmetics may be used; however, the skin must be cleansed before applying the medication, and astringent cosmetics should be avoided. Hair products or certain soaps and shampoos may irritate the skin, so care should be taken to avoid contact with the application area. It is advisable not to perform hair removal or electrolysis the day before applying this medication in order to reduce skin irritation. Even if deep lesions already exist on the skin, they may worsen with the medication's effects, but this is part of the treatment process, and use should continue. Women who may become pregnant should confirm pregnancy status before use, and use during pregnancy is not recommended. Caution should be taken when using in conjunction with other medications as interactions may occur, particularly with products that cause skin dryness. Take care to avoid contact with mucosal areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, and if contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and misuse may cause serious skin irritation, so the proper amount and frequency of application should be adhered to.
