Troubleshooting
Cream not providing sufficient numbing effect.

Skin irritation or redness after application.
This is a potential temporary side effect. If irritation is severe or persists, wash the area gently and discontinue use. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are concerning.
Dressing is difficult to apply or stays in place.
Ensure the skin is completely dry before applying the dressing. Use the provided dressings as intended; they are designed to adhere securely to aid in keeping the cream in place during its active time.
