Precautions For Using Pain Relief Patches
Many people apply the pain relief patch and don't know when to remove it, or even leave it on for two or three days. In fact, it is best to remove the pain relief patch after 8-12 hours of applying it. The reason is that during this time, the skin has already absorbed the active ingredients of the pain relief patch. If the delay is not torn off, it will aggravate the burden on the skin, hinder the permeability of the pores, block the discharge of sweat and even lead to local dermatitis, etc.
Generally speaking, pain relief patchs should be changed once a day, or even half a day in some cases, depending on the duration of the medication according to the instructions. Broken wounds should be changed at shorter intervals of 5-6 hours. The affected area should also be washed moderately between applications to remove any dirt adhering to the skin surface, after which the skin should be allowed to rest for 1 to 2 hours. As the skin needs to breathe, sweat glands and sebaceous glands need to be excreted, prolonged application of ointment will cause high local temperature and humidity, and metabolic waste cannot be excreted, which will stimulate the local skin and cause itching and other uncomfortable symptoms.
If the pain relief patch is applied for 3 days, or if the pain relief patch is not washed between the two pain relief patchs, without leaving a little space between them, the ingredients in the pain relief patch may invade deep into the skin through the sweat holes, triggering allergies and causing contact dermatitis, commonly known as "pain relief patch wind". This is a painful condition in which red patches of the same shape as the pain relief patchs applied, with clear borders, are accompanied by intense itching and, in severe cases, blisters or even blisters. If this happens, the pain relief patch must be removed immediately and the area washed. For lighter areas (red spots), you can apply an ointment or toothpaste with a purifying effect, or use fresh cabbage gangs mashed and applied externally; for heavier areas (blisters and blisters), you must seek medical help.
Pain relief patchs are semi-solid at room temperature and are mainly used for application. There are many types of pain relief patchs, one is the commonly used black pain relief patch, such as dog skin pain relief patch, chasing wind pain relief patch, plucking poison pain relief patch, Han's gold silk pain relief patch paste and so on. The second is the hard rubber pain relief patch, such as wound and wet pain relief pain relief patch, anti-inflammatory and analgesic pain relief patch, etc., which has the advantages of being easy to carry, sticky and not polluting clothes.
If you have red and swollen blisters on pain relief patched skin, first try not to break the blisters, put sterile gauze on them and let the blisters subside on their own. Even if you want to break the blister, you can go to the hospital, or you can use a sewing needle at home, first burn the tip of the needle red on the fire, cool it a little, then pick it from the lower end of the blister, release the water, leave the outer skin of the blister untouched, use sterile gauze and wait for it to heal itself.
