Instructions For Use:

• Gently clean the wound as normal.
• Water and cotton wool balls or soft cloth can be used.
• Apply any other treatment if required (such as antifungal
  or antibacterial powder/cream).
• Apply a thin coating of Ilex over the entire wound needing
  protection. You should still be able to see through the layer of Ilex
  to the skin below.
• Allow to dry for about 30 seconds.
• In areas where the Ilex may stick to clothing or other
  material apply a good coating of petroleum jelly over the Ilex and
  surrounding skin.

Precautions:

• Do not use baby wipes. A mild soap or cleansing foam can be
  used.
• A coating of petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) should be
  applied over Ilex when used in the perianal area to prevent the bottom
  and/or diaper from sticking.
• Do not forcibly try to remove Ilex that has adhered to the
  skin.
• When cleansing, only the stool should be wiped off using
  cotton wool or soft cloth and water leaving the Ilex intact.
• You may reapply additional Ilex if required, then reapply
  petroleum jelly.
• This procedure will minimize any trauma to the already
  broken skin. Ilex should only be removed once a day – to remove use a
  soft cloth with a good amount of mineral oil/ baby oil.
• Removing Ilex more often or without the use of mineral
  oil/baby oil may inhibit the healing process and lead to further skin
  breakdown.
