INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREATMENT WITH CARAC
Every evening , after gently washing, rub the Carac®
on to the areas recommended by Dr. Gaul,
at least two hours before bedtime. Avoid contact with
eyes, nostrils and mouth. Wash your hands as soon as
you have finished applying the Carac®
Cream. Do this every night for as long as instructed
by Dr. Gaul, usually 21 days. Each morning,
after washing, apply Vanicream®
SPF 15 sunscreen liberally to these areas.
Every morning:
1. Wash all the areas with a gentle cleanser like
Vanicream®
cleanser.
2. Apply the sunscreen Dr. Gaul recommended that
contains zinc oxide, Blue Lizard®
for sensitive skin or Vanicream®
SPF 15 sunscreen liberally to these areas. The zinc
oxide paste will help the areas heal and hurt less.
Squeeze the sunscreen into your hands and rub them
together, then pat the sunscreen on to your treatment
areas- it will spread more easily.
3. Avoid sunlight as much as possible. Wear a hat and
sunglasses.
Every Evening - At least two hours before bedtime:
1. Wash all the areas with a gentle cleanser like
Vanicream®
cleanser
2. Apply Carac®
cream.
Men -- You may shave "carefully" if you do not have
thick crusting scabs. Shaving may cause additional
discomfort and possible bleeding.
Women - Wearing makeup to cover the redness will not
deactivate the Carac®
but it may sting and look worse if the areas are
flaking.
The Blue Lizard®
and Vanicream®
SPF15 sunscreen and the gentle cleanser can be
purchased at
DermUs (712) 262-2280
Hint: Continue using
the sunscreen even after Carac®
treatment! Prevention is the best medicine.
