Do's

• Use Quadriderm Cream as directed by your healthcare provider. Follow the recommended dosage and frequency of use.
• Apply a thin layer of Quadriderm Cream to the affected area of the skin. Gently rub it in until it is evenly distributed.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the cream to prevent the spread of infection.
