What should I do if blisters appear after applying Sanfu stickers?

Sanfutie is a plaster suitable for use during the dog days of summer, which can treat respiratory diseases and provide health care. There are certain differences between Sanfutie and ordinary ointments, the most obvious of which is the difference in the Chinese herbal medicine composition. However, it has one thing in common with other ointments, which is that the skin may have adverse reactions, such as itching or blisters. So, what should you do if your skin blisters after applying Sanfutie?

Blisters and redness are normal and indicate the medication is working. Please do not rub the area when taking a bath. It will disappear on its own after a few days. If large blisters appear, you can apply burn ointment (such as green ointment or moist burn ointment) locally. Or after disinfection with alcohol and iodine, puncture the blisters and then apply Qingdamei injection to prevent the skin from infection.

Blisters, itching, skin breakage and water discharge caused by Sanfu Plaster are normal skin stress reactions. There is no need to panic. The main reason is that the medicine generates high heat after wearing, which burns the skin. You can perform local treatment according to the treatment methods for symptoms such as skin scalds, burns, sunburn (ultraviolet burns), etc. You can use ice packs to apply cold compresses at home. It is best to consult your attending physician or go directly to a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

It is normal to have local blisters after applying the Sanfu plaster. Different people have different acupuncture points for blistering, depending on their immunity. This means that the location of the patch on the body will also be different. The appearance of blisters indicates that there is dampness and heat in your body. Through the action of Chinese medicine, the moisture in the body can be drawn out, forming blisters.

Some people develop a layer of small blisters the size of rice grains, while others develop larger blisters. If the blister is small, you don't need to pay attention to it, it will absorb by itself; if the blister is large, it can actually be absorbed by itself, but it may be very uncomfortable and itchy. At this time, you can first use a sterilized needle to prick the blister, then use cotton wool to absorb the flowing water, then disinfect it with iodine, and then apply some gentian violet to dry it out. After this treatment, the symptoms will generally improve in one to two days and gradually heal. August 7th is the third dog days, so you can continue to post it. The key to Sanfutie is persistence!
