Wash and pat dry the area being treated to remove any dirt or loose skin. Apply a small amount of gel to the skin, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the area uncovered to allow any excess gel to evaporate. Thoroughly wash your hands after each application to prevent the gel from contacting other areas not being treated or the mucous membranes. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct administration.
