You should take a cleansing bath after 48 hours of the last application to remove the traces of the medication from the skin.

Crotorax Cream is used to treat scabies and to relieve itching and skin irritation associated with sunburn, dry eczema (type of itchy skin rash), dermatitis (red and itchy skin), allergic rashes, hives, nettle rash, chickenpox, heat rashes, personal itching, insect bites and stings.
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Crotorax Cream cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. Remember, it is important to wash your hands before and after applying Crotorax Cream.
At the beginning of the treatment, Crotorax Cream is usually used once daily in the evening. The area should not be washed after applying Crotorax Cream. Leave it overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
If you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation, discontinue the medicine and consult the doctor.
Use Crotorax Cream only on your skin. Keep it away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Crotorax Cream on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Crotorax Cream on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. This is because Crotorax Cream can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Crotorax Cream. Avoid contact with hair as Crotorax Cream has strong bleaching properties. Consult your doctor for any other query related to Crotorax Cream.
The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening) depending upon the requirement.
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for a longer duration to gain maximum benefit. Do not worry, this is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
