Do you understand and agree with the following?
You agree that for eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions it is important that in order to prevent flare ups of your condition, you regularly moisturise (3-4 times daily) using an emollient cream or ointment. You understand that you should use a cream or ointment instead of soap to wash your skin.
You are aware paraffin containing preparations (emollients/creams/ ointments etc) can soak into clothing and bedding and cause a fire hazard.

You are aware that for any scalp applications they can be flammable and it is not recommended to blow dry your hair after using them.
You are aware that long-term use of steroid creams, ointments, lotions and other forms can cause permanent skin damage and skin thinning and should be applied sparingly and not be used continuously.
