I am experiencing skin irritation with Stelo, what can I do?
Some people are sensitive to the biosensor adhesive. Extra care can help. Follow insertion instructions carefully. In addition to the site preparation tips above, consider these:
Site preparation
- New site: Don't use the same biosensor site twice in a row.
- Healthy skin: Consider moisturizing skin between biosensor sessions to avoid dry skin. Don't use moisturizer on the biosensor site the day you insert the biosensor. Be careful not to apply moisturizer on the biosensor.
If you have significant skin irritation (itching, burning and/or rashes at the site of the adhesive patch), contact your healthcare provider.
For assistance with your order(s), reporting a product issue, or other support needs, please log into your Stelo account and submit your request through SteloBot.
