When using this product: It is normal to experience temporary skin redness after removing the wrap. If your skin is still red after a few hours, stop using ThermaCare until the redness goes away completely.

- Consider wearing during the day before deciding to use during sleep.

- after 7 days of product use (4 days for menstrual product) the pain you are treating gets worse or remains unchanged. This could be a sign of a more serious condition
- you experience any discomfort, swelling, rash or other changes in your skin that persist where the wrap is worn
