Hydrocortisone + Miconazole must be applied as a thin layer on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor.
Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well.
Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
