Wash and dry your hands before applying the medication. Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin film of the medication to the affected area and rub it in. Do not bandage, cover, or wrap the area unless your doctor tells you to do so. Avoid applying the medication near your eyes, nose, or mouth. If the drug gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with plenty of water. Kenalog Orabase paste is for use inside the mouth only. Do not use it on the skin. Dab or press a small amount of paste onto the area to be treated until the paste sticks and a smooth, slippery film develops. You may use a cotton swab to apply the paste. Do not spread or rub the paste in. This will only cause the paste to become crumbly, grainy, or gritty. It is best to use Kenalog Orabase paste after meals or before bedtime. Avoid using Kenalog topical on sunburned, broken, or irritated skin. Avoid using skin products that can cause irritation, such as harsh soaps or astringents. Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
