Question:

What does it mean when a medication tells you to apply cream to "dampened skin?"?

I know what damp means, but uhh....I'm kinda lost.


Answers:

Take a washcloth and wet it a little. Then moisten the area of skin to apply the medication to with the washcloth. It helps to clean the area and opens the pores to allow the cream to soak in. Make sure you use warm water, not scalding hot and not frigid cold. Good luck
