Drug Interactions
- Untreated skin infection: bacteria or fungus can spread under the cream

Risks and warnings

- Use on the face: only short courses on medical advice, as facial skin is thin
- Children: more of the medicine is absorbed through a child's skin
- Skin folds: armpits and the groin absorb far more of the steroid
- Infection risk: the cream can hide and worsen an untreated skin infection
- Around the eyes: long use has been linked to glaucoma and raised eye pressure
