To ensure the effective treatment of your condition, it is important to apply the hydroquinone cream correctly and consistently. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Preparation:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after applying the cream to prevent infection.
- Clean the affected area gently with mild soap and water, then pat dry with a clean, soft towel. Make sure the area is completely dry before application.
- Application:
- Amount: Squeeze a small amount of the hydroquinone cream (about the size of a pea) onto your fingertip.
- Position: Find a comfortable position. You may find it easiest to apply the cream while lying on your side with knees slightly bent, or while standing with one leg raised on a stool.
- Apply the cream: Gently spread the cream around the anal area. Be careful to apply the cream only to the affected area. Do not apply the cream inside the anal canal.
- Frequency:
- Apply the cream twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening.
- Ensure that the applications are spaced out evenly throughout the day.
- After Application:
- Wash your hands again thoroughly to remove any residual cream.
- Avoid strenuous activities immediately after application to ensure the cream stays in place and can be absorbed effectively.
- Avoid exposure to sunlight on the treated area, as hydroquinone can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
- Additional Tips:
- Do not skip applications: Consistency is key to achieving the desired results. Set reminders if necessary.
- Avoid using other products on the treated area unless approved by your healthcare provider, as they may interfere with the effectiveness of the hydroquinone cream.
- Report any side effects: If you experience any irritation, allergic reactions, or worsening of symptoms, stop use of the medication immediately.
