What to do if blisters appear after applying plaster

In life, some of our friends are engaged in physical labor. Over time, the lumbar spine is easily injured. The waist will feel very painful every day, so they will buy some plasters to apply. Generally speaking, as long as the pain is not severe, a few plasters can relieve it, and the pain will disappear after a few more days of rest. However, some friends may develop blisters on their skin when using ointment. What should they do?

Most people do not feel any obvious discomfort after applying the plaster, but some people may feel local heat and itching, which is a normal reaction and can be ignored.

Some people also experience local redness, swelling, heat, pain, and even blistering and oozing 1 to 2 hours after applying the plaster. At this time, you should remove the plaster. If the blister is small, apply some iodine to avoid infection.

If the bubble becomes larger, go to the hospital and use a sterilized needle to extract the liquid inside the bubble. Generally, after a week, the blisters will form scabs and fall off.

When applying the plaster, in order to minimize the occurrence of the above-mentioned allergic reactions, you should avoid certain foods, such as leeks, coriander, seafood, and spicy foods.

People who are allergic to zinc oxide plasters, drugs and pregnant women should reduce or not use plasters.

Most people will feel local heat and itching after applying the Sanfu plaster. This is a normal reaction and can be ignored. Some people will develop local blisters two hours after applying the mask.
