How to Use Eurax:
Do not apply this medication to the eyes, nose, or mouth. Flush with water

take a bath or shower before using this medicine, dry the skin well before
applying Eurax

and toes, and moist areas (such as underarms and groin).

bedding in order to prevent reinfection.
- Then, 48 hours after the second application of this medicine, take
a cleansing bath to remove the medicine.
- Your sexual partners, especially, and all members of your household

in close contact. If these persons are not being treated or if you have

Avoid sexual or intimate contact with others until the infection has been
