This is useful in conditions like eczema, because it improves the ability of other medicines, such as corticosteroid creams, to penetrate the skin and reduce inflammation. Your doctor may tell you to cover this with a special “occlusive” dressing (an air tight dressing), but this is not usually necessary. Adults, the elderly and children: apply liberally to the affected area and massage well into the skin as required.If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any sideeffect not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.
