You should use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back.

Even after your skin is completely cured, you may have to apply it occasionally to prevent the symptoms from returning.

Quick tips

Ash-Derm Cream helps treat skin infections.
It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated, you should stop using Ash-Derm Cream and consult your doctor.
Don't use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 1 week of treatment.
