This cream is used most commonly used in inflammatory dermatoses with possibilities of bacterial infection or where bacterial infection is already present. Its recommended use is to apply the cream to the infected area continuously for at least six days. Because of the active acids in the cream, it is known to cause thinning of the skin as a side effect.
