How To Use Temovate Ointment On Foot For Dermatitis Without Rubbing It Off By Cloth During Night?
I am using Temovate Ointment on foot to treat dermatitis. since the ointment is like vasline, it's hard to wait for it dry and put cloth or sleep at night without rubbing it off. I read in the instruction that it's best not to put dressing or adhesive bandage. What are your suggestions?

Hi thanks for writing here.ointements always contain some oil preparations and therefore they are sticky.They are used for crhronic lesions and on hands and foot.Best way for application is to take a small pea sized amount and apply with rubbing till it gets completely absorbed.This will also help in proper penetration of drug.Hope this will help you.Take care.
