How to Use Fluocinonide
- 1). Purchase Fluocinonide. Fluocinonide is a topical medication available only by prescription. It is sold under a number of brand names and comes in cream, ointment, and gel form typically in a .05% concentration.
- 2). Wash the area to be treated with a gentle cleanser such as CeraVe, Purpose or Cetaphil and wash your hands to avoid contamination.
- 3). Rub a small amount of Fluocinonide into the affected area two times per day. Cover only the area to be treated because covering a larger area may cause over-absorption of this steroid cream, resulting in side effects.
- 4). If you are treating the scalp, part the hair in the area to be treated and rub a small amount directly on the affected area Do not wash your hair until the medication is dry.
