Hydromol Cream is for external use only and should only be applied to the skin.
Adults, elderly and children: apply liberally and frequently to the affected area and smooth into the skin in the direction of hair growth. Hydromol Cream may be used 2-4 times a day or as often as required. It is especially beneficial when used immediately after washing or bathing as water is still trapped in the skin for extra hydration and as the warmth of the skin may increase absorption.
Do not smoke or go near naked flames – risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you use Hydromol Cream if your skin is badly cracked, infected or bleeding.
Do not use if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to any of the ingredients in Hydromol Cream. Some ingredients may cause skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis). If your condition worsens or you experience any undesirable effects, stop using Hydromol Cream and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are using medicines which are also to be applied to the skin you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Hydromol Cream as it might not be suitable to apply other topical preparations at the same time.
Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If accidental ingestion occurs, adverse effects are unlikely to occur.
