KZ Lotion is for external use only. Directions include washing and drying the infected area before applying avoiding contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Shampoo, soap, and powder formulations are also available. Common side effects may include dry skin, itching, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site, typically resolving over time.
