Use Kenalog exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Kenalog topical will not treat a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection.
Wash your hands before and after each application, unless you are using Kenalog to treat a hand condition.
Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it gently into the skin.
Avoid using Kenalog on your face, near your eyes or mouth, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.
If you are using the dental paste, apply the medication in a thin layer, just enough to cover the mouth ulcer. The paste may stick better if you dry the mouth ulcer before applying the medication.
Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with Kenalog can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions. Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse after using this medication for several days. It is important to use Kenalog regularly to get the most benefit.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
