Troubleshooting
Plaster not sticking well
Ensure the skin is completely clean and dry before application. Remove any oils, lotions, or residues. Press firmly on the edges after application.
Skin irritation occurs

Plaster removed and re-applied
The adhesive may be compromised. For optimal results, use a new plaster for best adhesion and protection.
