Frequency: Usually used 2 to 3 times daily.
Duration: Do not use for more than 14 days unless directed by a doctor to prevent skin thinning or antibiotic resistance.

Broken Skin: Do not apply to deep open wounds unless specifically advised.
Pregnancy: Consult a doctor before use, as steroids can be absorbed through the skin.
