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 Gel, this has been attributed to poor or insufficient cleansing of the scar area. Should a rash occur, stop using the KELOTOP® Silicone Gel for 12 hours followed by using the KELOTOP® Silicone Gel for 12 hours. If the rash persists, a physician should be contacted and KELOTOP® Silicone Gel use should be discontinued.
Discoloration of the skin covered by KELOTOP® Silicone Gel 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 Gel. These products will create a barrier between the scar site and the silicone gel, 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 Gel 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Every 12 hours the scar area should be washed. First wipe KELOTOP® Silicone Gel off the scar area with a clean cloth or tissue. Then gently wash the scar area with soapy water, rinse, and then let air dry.
