Apply an appropriate amount to the affected area 1-2 times a day, adjusting as needed based on symptoms. Additionally, occlusive therapy may be implemented based on symptoms.

Precautions

This medication should be used with caution if there are bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections present on the skin, as it may worsen symptoms. People with allergies to this medication or a history of hypersensitivity should not use it. Using this product with an inflamed ear and a perforated eardrum may delay wound healing or worsen infection. When there are ulcers on the skin or severe burns or frostbite, this medication may interfere with skin regeneration and may not allow wounds to heal properly. It is recommended that individuals with perioral dermatitis, common acne, or rosacea not use this medication. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are nursing should use this medication with caution, and particularly avoid prolonged or extensive use during pregnancy. Children and the elderly may experience side effects more readily when using this medication, so caution is necessary. Using this medication for a long time or over a large area may lead to skin infections; thus, you should stop using it immediately if symptoms appear and consult a physician. Long-term use may cause changes in the skin, such as thinning or vascular expansion, so it may be necessary to reduce the dosage or switch to another medication if symptoms manifest. This medication may have systemic effects, as there is a risk of suppressing pituitary or adrenal function, so regular check-ups are necessary when using it extensively or in occlusive therapy. Caution is necessary when applying near the eyes, as it may increase intraocular pressure or cause eye conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts. In cases of eczema or dermatitis accompanied by skin infections, it is advisable to use this medication in conjunction with appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents, not solely by itself. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, stop using it immediately. It is preferable to discontinue use as soon as symptoms improve. Children and minors may experience side effects more readily due to their larger skin surface area relative to body weight, so extra care is needed. The elderly may experience side effects more easily as their body functions decline, thus greater caution is required for large doses or prolonged use. This medication should not be directly applied to the eyes, and use for purposes other than treatment, such as after makeup or shaving, should be avoided. When undergoing occlusive treatment, it must be done according to a physician's guidance, and the affected area should be cleaned before use to reduce the risk of infection. Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
