BEFORE YOU USE CANESTEN HC CREAM

Do not use Canesten HC Cream: • If you (or your baby if treating nappy rash) are allergic (hypersensitive) to clotrimazole, hydrocortisone or any of the other ingredients, including cetostearyl alcohol, of Canesten HC Cream. • On areas of broken skin. • On large areas of skin (more than 5–10% of body surface). • For longer than 7 days. • To treat cold sores or acne. • On any untreated bacterial skin infection, such as syphilis or tuberculosis. • On vaccination reactions. • On shingles, chicken pox, rosacea or herpes.
