Troubleshooting

Gel is not clear after application.

Ensure the gel is applied in a thin, even layer. If the gel remains opaque, the burn may be more severe than initially assessed; seek medical attention.

Burn feels worse after application.

This is unlikely. Ensure the burn has been rinsed with cool water prior to application. If pain persists, seek medical advice.
