Be careful to avoid the eyes and lip area.
Use this medication on the skin only. Do not apply to the inside of the mouth/nose or in or around the groin/vaginal area.
Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If this occurs, flush with large amounts of water. Call your doctor if eye irritation develops. Wash your hands after using the medication to avoid accidentally getting it in your eyes.
