For atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months to 18 years of age, apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas 2 times daily and rub in gently. Do not apply Locoid Lipocream in the diaper area unless directed by a physician.

Discontinue therapy when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary. Before prescribing for more than 2 weeks, any additional benefits of extending treatment to 4 weeks should be weighed against the risk of HPA-axis suppression and local adverse events.

Do not use Locoid Lipocream with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. Avoid use in the diaper area, as diapers or plastic pants may constitute occlusive dressings.
