Dermol Cream dosage

Dermol Cream can be used as a leave-on treatment: apply gently to the affected skin and let it be absorbed; do not rub it in vigorously. Leave the cream on the skin for some time if needed to let it soak in, and reapply as needed or as directed by your dermatologist. Do not apply other treatments to the same skin area at the same time; if you need to use another product, apply the treatments at different times.

Dermol Cream can also be used as a soap substitute instead of soap or shower gel when washing; it will not foam or lather like regular products but still cleans the skin. Pat the skin dry gently with a soft towel after washing, and avoid rubbing harshly. It is suitable for all age groups including babies, but extra care should be taken when treating the face or young children. If you forget to use it as prescribed, simply resume your regular schedule.
