How to apply?
Use creams from psoriasis carefully. They should be applied neatly to the damaged skin with clean and dry hands. And it is even better to use cotton swabs, so you prevent hit on the affected skin of pathogenic microorganisms (staphylococci, streptococci, etc.), which can only aggravate the course of your illness.
Apply the cream evenly, spreading over the entire surface. Use exactly the amount of ointment that is indicated in the instructions so that there is no overdose.
Closely monitor the condition of your skin. Remember that psoriasis "loves" various damages to the skin (scarring, wounds, etc.). You will not have time to look back, as a new psoriatic hearth appears on the site of a small wound. Therefore, do not allow cuts or damage.
Do not give psoriasis treatment halfway. Cure the symptoms to the end. Negligent attitude towards this disease can lead to the appearance of new relapses.
Symptoms of overdose and interaction with other drugs
Perhaps a sharp appearance of allergic reactions (redness, inflammation, burning, itching, etc.). It is also possible to increase the side effects. To get rid of them, you just need to remove the drug from the skin.
If you accidentally swallow the medicine, then immediately consult a doctor before rinsing your mouth with water.
Do not use two or more hormonal ointments for treatment. This will negatively affect your body. Before applying any ointments from psoriasis, you need to consult a doctor. He will tell you what medications can be combined, the medicine prescribed to you, and with which - not.
