The Andro-Switch has successfully passed biocompatibility tests required for European certification. It meets the ISO 10993-10 standard for skin safety, confirming its biocompatibility.
The skin in this area is not accustomed to prolonged compression. To prevent irritation and maintain comfort, follow these care guidelines:
- Moisturize regularly: Apply mineral oil (baby oil) between each wearing period to keep the skin hydrated.
- Maintain hygiene: Ensure both your body and the ring are kept clean to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
If you experience intense itching, this is a normal physiological reaction. When a part of the skin is compressed for an extended period, its decompression triggers nerve hyperstimulation, causing temporary itching. This is similar to the sensation you feel when removing a tight sock.
To manage this discomfort:
- Apply moisturizer immediately after removing the ring.
- Expect gradual improvement: This reaction typically fades within a few weeks as your body adjusts.
- Use cooling methods: Gently apply cool (not icy) stones to the skin or rinse with cool water in the shower for a few minutes to relieve irritation.
