It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Nizoclin 2% Dusting Powder in the evening.

But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Nizoclin 2% Dusting Powder to prevent skin sensitization.
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Nizoclin 2% Dusting Powder. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
