Spectro Eczemacare

After washing your hands, apply the cream thinly to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Rub it gently into the skin.

A single streak of cream from the top fingertip C.E.S. to the fingertip should be enough to treat a patch of skin equal to the front and back of one hand. Half of this amount would cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of one hand. Wash your hands after using the cream (unless it is your hands you are treating).
