[Other contents of the package insert] Topical steroids are effective for skin troubles in hairy areas such as the scalp and armpits.
Use Rinderon Vs Lotion, which is easy to use on hairy areas, correctly to heal quickly.
Skin troubles in hairy areas such as the scalp covered by hair, the armpits, and the delicate (intimate) area, including eczema, dermatitis, contact dermatitis (skin rash), and the itching that accompanies them.
If uncomfortable itchy symptoms persist, you may keep scratching the affected area, which can worsen symptoms or leave scars.
The key to treating skin troubles in hairy areas is to suppress the inflammation early and improve the symptoms quickly.
For this, it is important to use topical steroids correctly. Rinderon Vs Lotion is a milky-lotion-type topical steroid that is easy to use on hairy areas.

It is effective for various skin troubles in hairy areas and elsewhere.
Itching of the scalp
Redness due to inflammation of the scalp
Stinging when shampoo, etc. gets on it; dry, flaky dandruff
Contact dermatitis (skin rash) of the armpits
Contact dermatitis (skin rash) of the delicate (intimate) area *Do not use on mucous membranes.
It can also be used for the symptoms on the right
●Eczema on the back, abdomen, and arms, where sticky ointments are hard to use
●Eczema on the body during seasons when you sweat, such as summer
*Do not use if the affected area is suppurating and oozing.

Tips for applying
〔Guide to the amount to apply〕
The amount that can be applied to an area the size of 2 palms is about the size of a 1-yen coin (about 0.5 g).
*Adjust the amount according to the size of the affected area.
〔Apply to a clean affected area〕Apply to the affected area when it is clean after bathing or washing your hair. When applying to the scalp, it spreads more easily if you thoroughly wipe off moisture with a towel and leave the scalp still slightly damp, rather than drying it completely with a hair dryer.
〔Always put it on your hand and apply directly to the affected area with your fingers〕Put it on your hand, check that the amount is appropriate, and apply it directly to the affected area. When applying to the scalp, part the hair, etc. so that as little as possible gets on the hair. As a basic rule, the surface should feel moist.

Points to note
●Do not let the mouth of the container touch the affected area directly. This contaminates the container and can cause the inflammation to worsen.
●In the delicate (intimate) area, use only when the affected area is smaller than a 500-yen coin.
If the affected area is large, stop use and consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesclerk.

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 use on skin symptoms with suppuration: In addition to their anti-inflammatory action, steroids also have an immunosuppressive action, so using them on an affected area that is suppurating (infected) may instead worsen it; caution is required.
Do not use on affected areas with suppuration.
Condition of the affected area – This medicine
Dermatitis without suppuration (infection) – ○
Dermatitis with suppuration (infection) – ×

Do not get it in the eyes.
*Long-term use around the eyes may raise intraocular pressure, so do not use it there.

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.
