How to Use:

1. Clean the affected area gently with mild soap and water, then pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Open the Mercurochrome bottle and use the included brush-tip or applicator to apply a thin layer directly to the minor cut, scrape, or superficial burn.
3. Allow the solution to dry completely before covering with a sterile bandage if needed, or leave uncovered as directed by your healthcare provider.
4. Use 1–3 times daily, or as directed on the product label or by a healthcare professional. For short-term use on minor skin incidents only.
5. Do not apply to large areas of the body, deep or puncture wounds, serious burns, or infected areas. Avoid use on the face near eyes or mucous membranes. Follow with your usual skincare or beauty routine once the area is fully dry and protected.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Generally suitable for most skin types when used on small areas as directed; sensitive skin should patch test first and use with caution.
• Hair Types: Not intended for haircare use.
• Concerns: Minor cuts, scrapes, superficial burns, small shaving nicks, and everyday skin incidents that may temporarily affect the neat appearance of the skin.

Results:

• Provides immediate cleansing and a feeling of hygienic care on the treated area after application.
