Sweating may occur if used in hot environments. This may decrease the effectiveness of the adhesive. To prevent this problem, wash the sheet twice a day and adapt its use to the temperature conditions, using a retention bandage or hypoallergenic adhesive tape. In this case, do not compress the area of application excessively, as this may cause irritation.
As the silicone dressings prevent the skin from breathing normally, some redness may be observed on the area of application. If this happens, reduce treatment to 12 hours per day or less. If skin redness persists, if there is pain or irritation, discontinue treatment and consult your physician.
