This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Caremoist Cream works
Caremoist Cream is a combination of liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin. Liquid paraffin is an emollient (a substance that soothes or softens the skin). It prevents water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. White soft paraffin provides a layer of oil on the outer layer of the skin to prevent water from evaporating from the skin's surface.

Quick tips
Avoid applying Caremoist Cream to broken or injured skin. Use with caution on sensitive areas.
Remember to wash your hands after applying Caremoist Cream, unless your hands are in the treated area.
Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose, and rinse thoroughly in case of accidental contact or seek medical help in case of swallowing.
Do not smoke or go near naked flames, as Caremoist Cream increases the risk of severe burns.
Dry skin can worsen the itch; therefore, do not scratch, as scratching will generally make it worse. If scratching is irresistible, rubbing the itchy area with an ice cube might help.
