Cutaneous use.
The recommended dose is:

A strip of cutaneous foam, approximately 2 cm, is sufficient to treat an area the size of the hand (back and palm). As a guide, 2 cm is equivalent to the length of the last phalange of the index finger.
To avoid relapses in these infections, it is recommended to continue treatment for 2 weeks after all symptoms have disappeared.
Recommendations for the use of the cutaneous foam: for correct application, follow the indicated steps:
It is recommended to use well-ventilated shoes, avoid rubber shoes and soles, avoid fiber socks, and change socks with each application due to the possibility of reinfection. To avoid contagion, do not share towels, socks, or footwear with others, and do not walk barefoot in swimming pools, locker rooms, and collective bathrooms. It is recommended to wash your hands after each application.
