Wet wipes should not be used on wounds, rash, damaged skin, mucous membranes or areas that already sting and itch, unless the product is specifically intended for that use. If irritation lasts or repeats, stop use and seek professional advice.
Pharmacist’s advice
Wet wipes are practical for quick hygiene, but they should not be used as a constant substitute for washing with water and a mild cleanser. With sensitive skin, choose products that match the intended use and monitor the skin reaction. If itching, redness, stinging, rash, swelling or repeated irritation appears, stop use and seek advice from a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist.
