Use this cream on the skin only. Clean and thoroughly dry the area to be treated. Apply a thin layer of vioform hydrocortisone cream over the counter to the affected area and gently rub in, usually 3 to 4 times daily or as directed by your doctor. Wash your hands after using unless you are using this cream to treat the hands. Do not wrap, cover, or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor. Do not apply Vioform Hydrocortisone cream in the eyes, nose, mouth, or inside the vagina. If you do get the cream in those areas, flush with plenty of water.

Use this cream regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. |
