• Inflammation of the outer ear
• Inflammation or irritation of the skin caused by a reaction to irritants (contact dermatitis)

Contraindications and cautions:
If corticosteroids are used long-term, on large areas of skin, raw skin, skin folds, or under airtight dressings (including nappies) they are absorbed into the body more. This increases the risk of local side effects such as skin thinning, and those on other parts of the body, such as a decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal glands.
This preparation is for external use only.
If you have been prescribed this medicine to treat psoriasis you should have regular check-ups with your doctor. This is because although corticosteroids may be useful for psoriasis in the short-term, they can sometimes make psoriasis worse, and may cause the condition to relapse into generalised pustular psoriasis after the treatment is stopped.
This medicine should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area(s).
This medicine should not be used for longer than five days on the face or in children.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.
Not to be used in
• Acne vulgaris
• Children less than 1 year of age
• Infections of the skin with viruses (eg Herpes simplex, chickenpox), fungi (eg thrush, ringworm, athlete's foot) or bacteria (eg impetigo)
• Inflammatory rash around the mouth (perioral dermatitis)
• Itching around the back passage and genitals
• Long term flushing and inflammation of the facial skin (acne rosacea)
• Nappy rash
• Widespread plaque psoriasis
