Common uses
Skin creams are used to provide medicine to an affected area of skin.

Before using
INFORM YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking. Inform your doctor of any other medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, or breast-feeding.

Directions
Use this medicine exactly as directed on the package, unless instructed differently by your doctor. TO USE THIS MEDICINE: FIRST, WASH YOUR HANDS. Then wash and dry the affected area, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Apply only enough medicine to completely cover the affected area. Then gently spread the medicine until it is evenly distributed. Only medicine that is actually touching the skin will work. A thick layer of medicine is usually not more effective than a thin layer.
