Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the cream. Gently cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water, pat it dry completely. This prepares the skin for better absorption.
Applying the Cream
Squeeze a pea-sized amount of Acivir cream onto a clean fingertip. Apply a thin, even layer directly to the affected area, ensuring complete coverage. Avoid rubbing the cream in vigorously; gentle application is sufficient.
Frequency and Duration
Apply the cream as directed by your doctor or the product label. This usually involves applying the cream two to five times a day, depending on the severity of the condition. Continue using the cream for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve. Stopping early may lead to recurrence.
Aftercare
Allow the cream to absorb fully before covering the affected area. Avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive materials on the treated skin. Keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. If irritation occurs, consult your doctor.
