You can use the herpes sap patch at any time of the disease. However, for optimum results start the application as soon as you feel the first symptoms of herpes manifestation - usually a feeling of soreness or itching.

How to apply the patch

Wash your hands. Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Do not use in combination with cream, as the patch will not apply properly and will not provide all the benefits of its action.
Remove the outer wrapper and hold the inner package at both ends using both hands.
Gently pull the two ends in the direction the arrows set until half the pad appears. Be careful not to touch the adhesive side of the pad.
Gently squeeze the free surface of the pad with one finger into the shingle area.
Slowly remove the rest of the film with a gentle, rotating motion until the pad is detached from the film. You can wear make up or lipstick over the patch.
How to remove the used patch

You do not need to remove or change the patch if it remains in place. When the patch begins to detach from the skin, it must be removed and replaced with a new one.
To remove the pad, loosen one side of it.
Use both hands to hold the loose side of the pad.
Push the pad sideways, separating the hands as they unroll.

Advantages
Each COMPEED® Invisible Shingle Patch offers seven major advantages in treating and eradicating shingles.

1. Act quickly.

To ensure proper moisture levels in the wound, the pad facilitates the transfer of nutrients. This stimulates the healing mechanism of the skin, speeding up the healing process. Although the mode of action of the patch differs from that of the cream containing 5% aciclovir, it is clinically proven that the patches provide comparable healing time *.
