Usually you can wash off the ointment after a few hours of application.

It usually takes at least three hours for the cream to be washed off.
It takes about three hours for the ointment to fully develop and for most of the ointment to be absorbed by the skin, so the usual recommendation is to wash off the ointment after three hours, if it is washed too early, the effect of the ointment is not yet fully developed, which will affect the therapeutic effect.
Most topical skin medications do not require special cleansing and can be left to absorb slowly after application if there are no special circumstances.
During the application of the ointment must do a good job of skin care, to keep the skin clean and hygienic, but also to avoid local skin friction, diet should be light, try not to eat greasy spicy stimulating food, do not smoke and drink, so as not to affect the skin recovery.
