Gently rub Desquam-E gel into all affected areas once or twice a day. If you are fair-skinned or live in an excessively dry climate, you should probably start with one application a day. A visible difference may be noticed in 3 weeks, and the maximum change is usually seen in 8 to 12 weeks. You can continue to use Desquam-E for as long as your doctor thinks it is necessary.
