How To Use Lumicaine Top
Use this medication on the skin only. The affected area should
be dry before the medication is applied. If needed, dry the
affected area with a hair dryer on the warm setting for a few
minutes. Learn all preparation and usage instructions in the
product package. If any of the information is unclear, consult your
doctor or pharmacist.
Do not get the medication in your eyes or apply it to broken,
irritated, or recently shaved skin. If you do get the medication on
those areas, flush with plenty of water.
Apply a thin layer of this medication to the affected area,
usually once daily at bedtime for 2 to 3 days until the sweating is
controlled, then once or twice a week thereafter or as directed by
your doctor. After applying the medication, let it dry. If applying
on the hands or feet, wrap the area with plastic wrap and cover
with a mitten or sock. If applying on the underarms, wear a shirt.
If applying on the scalp, wear a plastic shower cap. Leave this
medication on for 6 to 8 hours. In the morning, wash the area with
soap (or shampoo if treating the scalp) and water, and then towel
dry. Do not use other antiperspirants or deodorants while using
this medication.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
