WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, ADVERSE REACTIONS
Possible complications include:
• Superficial maceration of the skin • Rash
• Skin Discoloration • Pruritus
Rashes have been observed on skin under the KELOTOP® Silicone Stick, this has been attributed to poor or insufficient cleansing of the scar area. Should a rash occur, stop using the KELOTOP® Silicone Stick for 12 hours followed by using the KELOTOP® Silicone Stick for 12 hours. If the rash persists, a physician should be contacted and KELOTOP® Silicone Stick use should be discontinued.
Discoloration of the skin covered by KELOTOP® Silicone Stick has been reported, particularly in dark skinned patients. This effect appears to be transient, and may be similar to the discoloration experienced whenever an area of skin is covered for extended periods of time.
If ingested, get medical help or contact Poison Control Center right away.
Do not use creams, lotions, sun block or other silicone products over and around the scar area when wearing KELOTOP® Silicone Stick. These products will create a barrier between the scar site and the KELOTOP® Silicone Stick, preventing a proper healing environment.
Call your doctor about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Precautions:
1. Do not apply to an open wound or third degree burn.
2. Never use on a sutured wound until sutures have been removed.
3. In rare instances Silicone Stick may cause a rash on the skin. This condition may result from improper cleaning of the scar area. Should the skin irritation still occur, discontinue use and consult your physician.
