You have to perfom aseptic actions strongly at the time of inserting

and extracting! Inserting: washed with soap hands, washed inserting

place or at least wiped with alcohol (70%). Extracting: washed hands as

well, and antiseptic first aid plaster for 2 - 5 hours. If the case of

reddening - the plaser & some antibiotic + antiallergic cream.



In the case of pus you have to run (don't walk) to your doctor; such a

case is dangerous for someone with diabetes.
