Instructions for Use
- ✓Apply an appropriate amount to the skin at the nail border and surrounding area once daily.
- ✓Apply to the skin around the nail — not directly to the nail itself. Applying after bathing, when skin is softened, is recommended.
- ✓For children, use under adult supervision.
- ✕Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients.
- ✕Do not use on the following areas:
- (1) In or around the eyes, or on the lips, mouth, nose, vagina, scrotum, external genitalia, or other mucous membranes
- (2) Areas with eczema
- (3) Areas with severe weeping skin, rawness, cracking, or wounds
- ⚠Consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesperson before use if you:
- (1) Are under the care of a physician.
- (2) Are using this on infants or young children.
- (3) Have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine or other product.
- (4) Have a widespread affected area, or the affected area is on the face.
- (5) Have an infected or pus-forming affected area.
- (6) Are unsure whether your condition is eczema or athlete's foot/tinea. (Itching or rawness around the scrotum is more often caused by eczema or other conditions than by tinea.)
- (7) Are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.
- ✓Stop use immediately and consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesperson — bringing this package insert with you — if any of the following side effects appear:
- Skin: Contact dermatitis, irritation, burning sensation, scaling, rawness, dryness or tightness, cracking, pain, hyperpigmentation, rash, redness, itching, swelling, or hives (rash, redness, itching, swelling, and hives may also appear throughout the body)
- ✓Stop use and consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesperson — bringing this package insert with you — if symptoms do not improve after about 2 weeks of use, or if symptoms worsen.
- ✓Avoid eye contact. If the product enters the eye, rinse immediately with water or lukewarm water and see an ophthalmologist.
- ✓For external use only.
Additional Information
This gel is designed for athlete's foot on the skin around the nail. For nail fungus infection (onychomycosis), consult a doctor for appropriate treatment.
Keep away from fire or open flames.
May soften synthetic resin or dissolve paint or coatings — keep away from furniture and floors.
Tips for effective treatment:
• Apply to the skin at the nail border — the fungus can hide in hard-to-reach areas around the nail. Applying after bathing, when skin is softened, is recommended.
• Continue treatment even after symptoms clear. The fungus may still be present after symptoms disappear.
• Keep feet dry. Dry thoroughly with a towel after bathing or sweating.
• Wash the affected area daily with soap.
