If you are a nursing mother, you need to wait to use the StretchPatch until you are no longer breastfeeding.
You need to wait until your skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting in the area, your stitches are removed, and you are cleared by your doctor or dermatologist to use the StretchPatch. You should NOT apply the StretchPatch on an open wound.
You can use the StretchPatch right away if your skin is already fully healed.
