Wet skin and liberally apply to areas to be cleansed, massage gently into skin working into a full lather, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Rinsing with plain water will remove any excess medication.

Regular shampooing following SEB-Prev™ Wash is not necessary, but the hair should be shampooed at least once a week. As the condition subsides, the interval between applications may be lengthened. Applications once or twice weekly or every other week may prevent recurrence. Should the condition recur after stopping therapy, the application of SEB-Prev™ Wash should be reinitiated as at the beginning of treatment.
