Application: as a soak, soak the affected area for 15-30 minutes as needed, up to 3 times a day. As a compress or wet dressing, soak a clean soft cloth in the solution, wring lightly, apply loosely, and keep wet for 15-30 minutes. Discard the solution after each use.

Warnings: For external use only. Keep unmixed powder away from the face to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not cover a wet dressing with plastic. Soaking too long may overdry in some conditions. Stop use and ask a health care practitioner if symptoms worsen or last more than seven days. Pregnant or lactating women should consult a health care practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Centre right away.
