Most people tolerate Loceryl Cream well. In rare cases, some may experience nail breaking, brittleness, discolouration, burning sensation, or itching (pruritus). If you experience any side effects that persist or get worse, stop the treatment and consult your doctor. Avoid excessive application and do not cover the area with tight dressings, as that can cause irritation.
