  [Other contents of the package insert] The key to skin troubles is to treat them early.
  Topical steroids are effective for skin troubles such as eczema and dermatitis.
  Skin troubles such as dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis (skin rash), and the itching that accompanies them are caused by inflammation of the skin. If uncomfortable itchy symptoms persist, you may keep scratching, which can worsen symptoms or leave scars. The key to treating skin troubles is to suppress the inflammation early and improve the symptoms quickly. For this, it is important to use topical steroids correctly.
  Steroids are substances produced in the human body and have a strong anti-inflammatory action. Topical steroids, which are chemically synthesized steroids, are medicines that calm local inflammation.
  
  They are effective for everyday skin troubles and various types of dermatitis.
  Eczema, dermatitis, heat rash, contact dermatitis (skin rash), itching, chilblains, insect bites, hives
  *Do not use if the affected area is suppurating and oozing.
  
  About use on skin symptoms with suppuration: When dermatitis occurs, intense itching often develops. If you keep scratching, the skin's barrier function that protects it from infection weakens, making it easier for bacteria and other germs to enter through the skin, so the affected area may become infected and suppurate. This medicine improves symptoms such as dermatitis and itching.
  Do not use on affected areas with suppuration.
  Condition of the affected area – This medicine
  Dermatitis without suppuration (infection) – ○
  Dermatitis with suppuration (infection) – ×
  
  How to open the tube
  Remove the cap, turn it upside down, and push the projection on the cap firmly into the mouth of the tube to make a hole.
  
  Tips for applying
  〔Guide to the amount to apply〕
  The amount needed to cover an area the size of 2 palms is about the amount of medicine placed on an adult's index finger from the tip to the first joint (about 0.5 g).
  *Adjust the amount according to the size of the affected area.
  〔Apply gently〕
  Place the medicine on the affected area and spread it gently over the whole affected area without rubbing it in. As a basic rule, the surface should feel slightly sticky.
  Avoid rubbing it in.
  Applying a generous layer allows the medicine to cover the eczema area.
  〔If symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 days of use, or if they worsen, stop using the medicine and consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesclerk.〕
  
  About side effects
  When topical steroids are used properly, including the period of use and the amount applied, side effects do not occur frequently. If used continuously for a long period, the skin may become white or thin. Also, using it on an area with an infection such as athlete's foot may worsen the symptoms.
  
  Daily habits to avoid worsening skin troubles □ Warming the body causes itching, so bathe in lukewarm water and keep baths short.
  □ Wash your body gently with a soft towel or your hands.
  □ For clothing and bedding that touch the skin directly, avoid prickly materials such as wool and synthetic fibers.
  □ In your diet, avoid irritants such as alcohol and spices.
