The fingertip unit of creams and ointments was developed as a guide for the use of topical steroid preparations for dermatological practice. It is used to help patients assess how much topical steroid to use. The unit equates to approximately 2.5 cm of cream or ointment, the length of the distal phalanx of the index finger; it weighs approximately 0.5g and covers approximately 312cm2, an area similar to that of the anterior aspect of the knee. This approach suggests that a single application of ointment is 0.5 gram.
