Instructions
- Dissolve one powder packet into 16 oz of lukewarm water for a 1:40 dilution.
- Moisten the solution with a clean, soft, white cloth such as gauze, a thin diaper, a clean pillowcase cut into strips, a handkerchief, or a small towel.
- Wring out the cloth gently until damp (but not soaking wet).
- Place the damp cloth loosely over the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes.
- If the gauze or other material dries out, moisten it again before removing from the skin so as not to damage your skin.
- Repeat 2-3 times daily.
- Discard the solution after each use.
