Applying it by placing it on the skin rather than rubbing it in lets the medicine properly cover the eczema.

Treatment Tips
Apply frequently
Reapplying several times a day is effective, especially on areas where the medicine tends to come off easily (hands, arms, etc.).

Take your time at bedtime
Using it before going to sleep is effective because the affected area can rest and the medicine is less likely to come off.

- Reduce the number of applications as symptoms improve.
- If symptoms are hard to cure, or if symptoms keep coming back chronically, we recommend consulting a doctor.
