You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Gamamed Soap 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 Gamamed Soap.
At the beginning of the treatment, Gamamed Soap is usually used once daily in the evening. The area should not be washed after applying Gamamed Soap. 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 Gamamed Soap 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 Gamamed Soap on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds.

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 Gamamed Soap. Avoid contact with hair as Gamamed Soap has strong bleaching properties. Consult your doctor for any other query related to Gamamed Soap.
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.
