Frequently Asked Questions

1. 1. How do pressure marks develop?

   Pressure marks often appear in areas where the skin is exposed to pressure and friction e.g. during sports or when wearing new shoes. With further pressure and friction the pressure mark can transform into an even more painful blister.

2. 2. What can I do to prevent blisters and sore spots?

   Sore spots are a common problem often caused by tight or ill-fitting shoes and can develop on any part of the foot. They are caused by pressure and friction and can lead to painful blisters or corns. To protect feet against sore spots, friction and pressure and to prevent the development of a blister we recommend Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster.

3. 3. For which parts of the feet can a Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster be used?

   Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster can be used for any part of the feet where you feel that your shoe puts uncomfortable pressure on. Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster with its soft hydrocolloid material can be cut to size and shape and offers transparent reliable protection from painful pressure and friction.

4. 4. Do I have to remove a Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster before taking a shower or bath?

   As a Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster is a waterproof plaster, you do not need to remove it while taking a shower or a bath. A Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster can be worn until it peels off by itself.

5. 5. How should I use a Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster?

   Thoroughly clean and dry the affected area. Cut the Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster to the desired size and remove the white film. Press the cut piece onto skin and smooth down. In case of open wounds, we recommend additional disinfection. Do not use any cream, ointment or other product on affected area, as otherwise the adhesive power of the Hansaplast Pressure Stop Plaster could be affected.
