Male patients who are not circumcised and who are treating warts under the foreskin should pull the foreskin back and clean the area daily, then apply this medication.
Women using tampons should insert the tampon before applying the ointment. If you need to change the tampon while the ointment is on the skin, avoid getting the ointment inside the vagina.
Do not use this medication inside the vagina or anus or on an open sore. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth while the ointment is on your finger. If you get this medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water. If irritation occurs, contact your doctor immediately.
