Crotamiton, while generally safe, can cause skin irritation in some users. This might manifest as redness, burning, itching, or rash at the application site. If you experience any of these, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
Allergic Reactions
Rarely, a more severe allergic reaction, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives, can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice these symptoms. Prior to initial application, a small patch test on an inconspicuous area of skin is recommended to check for any sensitivity.
Specific Usage Cautions
Avoid contact with eyes. If accidental contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Keep Crotamiton out of reach of children. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Follow the instructions on the label carefully, applying the medication only to the affected area. If symptoms persist or worsen after several days of use, contact your healthcare provider. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your physician before using Crotamiton during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
