Important cautions:
- Use the smallest amount and for the shortest duration needed; typically for short courses.
- Do not use on the face, groin, or armpits, or on broken or infected skin unless advised by a clinician.
- Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless directed; avoid near the eyes.
- In children, use with extra caution due to higher absorption; monitor for adverse effects.
