FAQs
Can I use this on a deep cut?
No, the Dr Wells-Action Spray On Action Plaster is intended for minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions only. Deep wounds require professional medical attention.
How long does the protection last?
The duration of protection varies depending on the location and activity. The film is generally water-resistant and will wear off naturally over time or can be removed with soap and water.
Is it safe for children?
It can be used on children for minor injuries, but adult supervision is recommended during application to ensure proper use and to manage any potential stinging.
Will it leave a mark on my skin?
The plaster dries to a clear film and should not leave a visible mark once dry.
Can I apply it over a traditional plaster?
This product is designed to be applied directly to clean, dry skin. Applying it over another dressing is not recommended.
What should I do if it gets in my eyes?
If the product comes into contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Troubleshooting
Stinging sensation upon application
This is a common reaction due to the alcohol content and open skin. Ensure the skin is completely dry before application. If stinging is severe or persists, discontinue use and clean the area.
Uneven coverage or patchy film
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (10-15 cm) and sprayed evenly. Shake the can well before use. Reapply a second thin layer if necessary after the first has dried.
Plaster does not dry properly
The area may not have been clean or dry enough before application. Ensure all moisture and residue are removed. Excessive product may also prolong drying time; apply in thinner coats.
Difficulty removing the plaster
Soak the area with warm, soapy water for a few minutes to soften the film. Gently wash the area; the film should begin to break down and wash away. Avoid forceful removal.
