Plaster is a commonly used external medicine in daily life. Sticking to the skin has the functions of diminishing inflammation, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dredging meridians, inducing resuscitation, dispelling wind and dispelling cold. But sometimes when you take off the plaster, you will find that your skin is red, with some small pimples and itching. This is a symptom of allergy.

Methods/steps

Patients with allergic history should choose products with air holes when purchasing plasters, so that the skin can breathe easily and avoid dullness and itching.

Plaster has a certain timeliness, generally 12 hours or 24 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the time of removing the plaster when sticking it, so as to avoid allergic reaction after sticking it for too long.

Before applying the plaster, wipe the affected area with a towel dipped in warm water, and then apply it to the skin after drying.

If blisters appear in the affected area, stop using the plaster first to avoid inflammation caused by blister infection. The surface should be disinfected with alcohol, and plaster should be applied after the situation improves.

In severe allergic cases, some anti-allergic drugs can be taken orally, and some plasters can be applied externally to the affected area to relieve allergic symptoms.
