Prolonged use may cause thinning of the skin, pigmentation changes, or side effects such as acne, so it may be necessary to reduce the dosage or switch to another medication.

Pregnant women should avoid prolonged use or use over large areas, and nursing mothers should not apply it to the breast area. Children are at higher risk for side effects due to their lower body weight relative to skin surface area, so they should use this medication under adult supervision, especially in sealed areas like diaper-wearing regions.
