What to do if skin allergy occurs after applying plaster

Applying plaster is a very common treatment method in life. It is easy to use and has no side effects. It’s just that many people have special skin properties and are prone to allergies, so you must be cautious when applying ointment. If you apply the plaster for a long time, redness, swelling, pain and allergies may occur. So, what should you do if your skin is allergic after applying the plaster? Today I will teach you the correct way to deal with it.

What to do if the skin is allergic and swollen after applying ointment

This symptom is probably an allergy. Tear off the plaster and it will heal on its own in two days. If it is very itchy, you can take some anti-allergic medicine. Do not apply hot water to the allergic area, otherwise it will become more itchy. Generally, the plaster will lose its effect after one day of application and should be torn off in time. It is not good for the skin if it is applied for a long time.

1. Use dietary adjustments. Patients should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat less greasy, sweet and irritating food, tobacco, alcohol, etc. Certain foods are also allergens, so be careful to identify them. Eating more vitamin-rich foods can enhance the body's immune ability.

2. Take good care of your skin on a daily basis. In warmer seasons, allergy sufferers often think that the outside temperature is warmer and the sebaceous glands are more active, so they give up on skin care or use too much facial cleansers and cleansing products with strong degreasing power.

3. Regardless of the cold or hot season, people with allergies must be very careful in taking care of their skin. In addition to washing their faces with warm water three times a day, they must also use some special skin lotions and creams to refresh and moisturize their skin, and persist in doing so.
