To maximize the clearing of scaly lesions while keeping your skin barrier safe from thinning, utilize this targeted application procedure.

1.Prepare the Area:Clean & Dry.
Gently wash the affected skin zone with a mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Pat the area completely dry with a clean towel. Never apply the cream to freshly wet or sweaty skin.

2.Dispense a Small Amount:Less is More.
Squeeze a tiny, pea-sized dab of the cream onto your fingertip. Remember, a very thin film is all that is required to cover the scaly plaques effectively.

3.Apply Strictly to Lesions:Targeted Rubting.
Gently massage the thin layer of cream directly onto the scaly or inflamed skin patches until it fully disappears. Avoid spreading it onto the surrounding healthy, normal skin to prevent unnecessary tissue thinning.

4.Wash Your Hands:Post-Care Step.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application, unless your hands are the actual target zone being treated for eczema or scales.

Contraindications

• Untreated Skin Infections: Do NOT apply Diprosalic to skin patches actively affected by viral infections (like herpes simplex, cold sores, or chickenpox), fungal flare-ups (like ringworm or athlete's foot), or bacterial lesions (like impetigo). Steroids localise and suppress the skin's immune response, which can cause an untreated infection to spread dangerously.
• Rosacea and Perioral Dermatitis: Avoid applying to acne, facial rosacea, or red bumps around the mouth, as strong steroids heavily worsen these specific conditions.
• Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you have a known history of systemic allergies to betamethasone, salicylic acid, or any component in the cream base.

Side Effects

• Common: A brief, mild stinging or burning sensation upon initial application, localized skin dryness, or minor peeling.
• Long-Term Risks (Steroid Misuse): Utilizing this high-potency cream continuously for months or over massive body surfaces can cause localized skin thinning (atrophy), visible stretch marks (striae), expanded spider veins (telangiectasia), or systemic adrenal suppression (Cushing's syndrome symptoms).
• Action: Discontinue use and contact your dermatologist if you develop signs of a secondary skin infection (pus, spreading redness) or severe, unyielding irritation.

Precautions and Warnings

• Strictly Localized Application: This is a highly concentrated prescription drug, not a regular daily moisturizing body cream. Apply it strictly to the specific patches of skin designated by your doctor.
• The Facial Limitation: Avoid using Diprosalic on your face unless specifically instructed and monitored by a dermatologist. Facial skin is incredibly delicate and highly prone to permanent thinning from strong corticosteroids. Keep it far away from your eyes to prevent the rare risk of glaucoma or cataracts.
• No Occlusive Dressings: Do not cover the treated skin patch with tight plastic wraps, airtight bandages, or heavy waterproof dressings unless explicitly told to do so by your physician. Sealing the area dramatically increases steroid absorption, which multiplies the risk of systemic side effects.
• Pregnancy & Pediatrics: Use with extreme caution. Children absorb higher relative amounts of topical drugs due to their skin-to-body surface area ratio, putting them at a higher risk of growth delays if steroids are misused. It should only be used during pregnancy if the clinical benefit heavily outweighs the risks.
