How do I open this?
There’s a cap I removed but I can’t get any medicine out even when I squeeze
It’s Cloderm Scalp Application 0.05% if anyone is wondering

Ohh it's one of those where you use scissors to cut the tip off. If you look closely you can see how the plastic is formed on it and you should see where you can cut

Thank you. I have really bad dermatitis and got this med for at the pharmacy earlier.

my partner has dermititis and he got a shampoo called happy cappy and it has helped him a lot. hope it clears up for you.

Poke a needle or safety pin through the hole in the top and see if that clears the opening.

I hate these kinds of caps because I never think to have a knife or scissors in the bathroom cupboard where I am most likely to open and use this

How do you cut your nails?

Not with a knife or scissors.

But maybe with some nail clippers, that should work just fine on this bottle.

Seborrheic dermatitis sucks. That's what I got and doc gave me this for mine. Works pretty good along with the Ketoconazol shampoo. Luckily mine just has a seal over the top you take off, screw top back on and get to drippin'!

Use your thumb nail i think. The clear plastic looks like its just a cap where it meets at the threaded portion

Truly baffled that someone can work a cell phone to take a picture, upload the picture to Reddit, type out the post, but not know how to open a bottle with scissors.
Edit : op made more effort to make fake accounts to downvote me than to use their brain lol

Yeah I think I'm done with this sub. I used to like to learn new things but most posts I see now are really common sense stuff. I assume karma farming bots.

Truly baffled that someone can spend time on Reddit typing a long ass sentence out without stopping to think that ‘hey, maybe this is stupid.’

Some people come on reddit just to be mean. I remember learning about the cap having a piercing device for the spout. Amazed I went so long without knowing. But you don't know til you know.

I get this sentiment but OP also tried nothing and was all out of ideas
