  • Wash your hands frequently – particularly after touching infected skin.
  • After applying the cream, you may cover the treated area with a clean bandage or gauze if advised by your doctor. 
  • Do not touch or scratch the sores because this can spread the infection to other parts of the body, and other people.
  • Avoid the use of perfumes and fragrant soap.
  • Wearing light clothing and keeping cool in bed, may help. Avoid excessive sweating.
