Locoid Lipocream can be used to treat superficial skin lesions that are often accompanied by itching, redness and crusting.

How to use Apply a thin layer of Lipocream to the affected skin and massage gently. Do not use more than one to three times daily, unless your doctor advises you otherwise. As your symptoms improve, your doctor may decide to use Lipocream less often. In general, you should not use more than one to two tubes per week. Warnings and precautions If you want to treat the skin of the face, the skin of the genitals and skin folds, as these are areas that are particularly sensitive to corticosteroids.
