Description
Topical treatment of acne vulgaris.
Azelaic acid works by getting rid of dead skin and killing bacteria.
How to Use
The medicine does not make your skin sensitive to sunlight, so you do not have to avoid exposure to the sun.
Skinoren Cream should be applied to the affected areas of skin twice daily (mornings and evenings), and rubbed in gently. As a guide 2.5 cm (approx. 0.5 g) of cream is sufficient for the entire facial area. If other areas of acne, in addition to the face require treatment, for example the chest and back, the amount of cream should be adjusted accordingly.
Patients with sensitive skin should be advised to use Skinoren only once a day (in the evening) for the first week of treatment and then proceed to twice daily applications.
Warnings
Care should be taken when using Skinoren Cream to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other mucous membranes, and patients should be instructed accordingly. In the event of accidental contact, the eyes, mouth and/or affected mucous membranes should be washed with large amounts of water. If eye irritation persists, patients should consult a physician. The hands should be washed after each application of Skinoren Cream.
