    • Observe the wound for signs of infection. If infection occurs, the signs of which may be fever, increased pain, redness, bleeding, swelling, or an unusual odor or discharge, see a health care professional. Hydrocolloid Dressings may be used on infected wounds only under the care of a health care professional.

    • If the wound does not begin to show signs of healing or if any other unexpected symptoms occur, consult the health care professional.
