Press a small dab (about ¼ inch) to the lesions until a thin film develops. A larger quantity may be required for coverage of some lesions. For optimal results, use only enough to coat the lesions with a thin film. Do not rub-in. Attempting to spread this preparation may result in a granular, gritty sensation and cause it to crumble. After application, however, a smooth, slippery film develops. Do not rub in.
Kenalog in Orabase should be applied at bedtime to permit steroid contact with the lesion throughout the night. Depending on the severity of symptoms, it may be necessary to apply Kenalog in Orabase 2 or 3 times a day, preferably after meals. If significant repair or regeneration has not occurred in 7 days, further investigation is advisable.
