• Apply the cream onto the infected area and surrounding skin.
• Wash your hands carefully after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other parts of the body or to other people. Similarly, clothing which comes into contact with the infected areas, such as socks, should be washed and changed frequently.

When back and muscle pain strikes, the heat patch’s low level heat provides relieving warmth for up to 8 hours.

Remove the plastic backing then place the heat patch on the painful area, either the back, neck or shoulders, apply the adhesive side onto dry clean skin. Press firmly to make sure it is fixed correctly. The heat patch starts to heat up after a few minutes of opening. When you remove the heat patch, peel it off slowly from one corner.

Do not leave the heat patch on the same area of skin for more than 8 hours in any 24 hour period, and do not use more than one heat patch per day on the same area of skin. The heat patch is for external use. Stop use and contact you doctor if after seven days your pain gets worse or remains unchanged.

Do not use with other skin medications or other heat sources.

Do not attempt to reheat in the oven or microwave. Do not cut pierce or allow the patch to get wet.
