Frequently asked questions
How many times a day should I apply Lycor cream?
Once or twice a day in a thin layer on the affected area only. More often does not work better and increases side effects.
Can I use hydrocortisone cream on my face?
Only if a doctor has told you to, and for a few days. Facial skin is thin and steroids can cause acne, thinning and redness. Never use it near the eyes.
How long can I use Cutisoft cream?
Usually up to 7 days. If the rash has not settled by then, stop and see a doctor rather than continuing on your own.
Can I use Lycor cream on a fungal infection or ringworm?
No. A steroid alone makes ringworm (daad) worse and spread, even though it feels less itchy at first. Fungal infections need an antifungal cream; see a doctor if unsure.
