What should I avoid while using fluocinolone, hydroquinone, and tretinoin topical?
 | Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (e.g., sunlamps). Fluocinolone, hydroquinone, and tretinoin topical may increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight and sunburn may result. Sunlight or UV rays may also worsen dark skin patches without causing sunburn. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 30) and wear protective clothing anytime you are outside, even on hazy days. |
The skin may be more sensitive to weather extremes such as cold, wind, and heat. Protect the skin with clothing and use a moisturizing cream or lotion as needed during the day.
Avoid as much as possible products that can increase skin irritation such as other skin medicines (unless prescribed by your doctor); medicated or abrasive (rough) soaps or skin cleansers; permanent wave solutions; chemical hair removers; products with alcohol, spices, astringents, or lime; cleansers, shampoos, or cosmetics with a strong drying effect; or other products that may irritate the skin.
