Why does redness, swelling and itching occur after applying Sanfu plaster?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, treating diseases also needs to be done at different times, which is called regulating the body according to the season, that is, what season and when is suitable for regulating the body. For example, the Sanfu plaster, which is a common Chinese medicine, is a method of helping the body regulate its body when the weather and blood flow smoothly during the Sanfu period. However, some patients reported that their skin became red, swollen and itchy after using Sanfutie. What's going on?

When applying Sanfu plaster, the parts of the body where the plaster is applied vary from hospital to hospital. If the patient suffers from allergic rhinitis, the acupoints related to the lungs should be applied. Sanfutie is a damp-heat medicine. When applied to the skin surface, some patients will experience burn-like symptoms, such as redness, itching, pain, blisters, ulcers, etc. These are all common phenomena during the application period.

Because everyone's skin type is different, the reaction to the patch is also different. For example, people with skin allergies are more likely to experience redness and itching. In severe cases, allergic dermatitis may also occur. Blisters are treated with Tianjiu therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many patients have experienced better treatment results thanks to Tianjiu therapy.

If blisters, itching and other symptoms occur after applying Sanfu plaster, it is recommended that patients treat the itchy area under the guidance of a doctor, such as repeatedly rinsing with salt water. Do not treat it at will to prevent the symptoms from worsening.

If you have a sore throat, fever, cough with yellow phlegm, or allergic skin, it is best not to apply the Sanfu plaster to prevent adverse reactions.

Some people experience blisters after applying the Sanfutie. This is mainly because the Sanfutie uses pungent, warm and fragrant drugs. These drugs help the efficacy penetrate into the skin, so they may also cause redness, itching and even blisters to our skin.

In order to avoid this situation, the hospital has improved and adjusted the prescription of Sanfutie. The allergic reaction has been greatly reduced, and there will be basically no serious allergic phenomena such as swelling, pain, and blistering after application. In addition, in order to prevent the Sanfu sticker from causing irritation to the skin, you can also apply some ginger juice before applying the sticker to reduce the irritation of the drug to the skin.

It should be noted that some people are not only allergic to drugs, but even adhesive tape can cause certain irritation to their skin. Such children are not suitable for Sanfutie.

If the skin at the applied area feels burning or painful, you should remove the ointment in time and wash it gently with clean water. Scratching is strictly prohibited. It will usually heal on its own. If bubbling occurs, it is generally sterile and there is no need to worry. Just apply some iodine and it will slowly scab over and heal. If severe blisters occur, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
