For effective use, start with clean, dry skin on the external anal area. Wash gently with water and pat dry completely before application. This ensures the cream makes proper contact with the skin and isn't diluted.
Apply a small amount, about the size of a pea, using a clean fingertip. Gently spread it over the affected external area. The emollient base is designed to absorb adequately without leaving an overly greasy residue. Many users find it helpful to apply after their daily shower or bath, following bowel movements, or after long periods of sitting when friction and pressure can increase sensitivity.
Consistency is more important than frequency. Using it once or twice daily, as needed when the skin feels tender or reactive, is typical. The protective layer it creates helps shield the skin from ongoing irritation. Remember, this product is for external use only. If you experience a stinging sensation, especially on visibly damaged skin, discontinue use. Store the tube at room temperature, away from direct heat and moisture.
