Cupping usually refers to fire cupping, where the can is used as a tool and adsorbed on the skin to relieve tendons and activate collaterals (stretching the tendons and bones, dredging the meridians and channels), dispelling wind and dispersing cold (dispelling the wind and dispersing the cold), etc. The cupping method can be divided into flash cupping, stay cupping and walking cupping. Cupping can be categorized into flash cupping, stay cupping and walking cupping methods, but when performing the operation, the skin at the site of application should be flushed, congested or bruised to the extent.
If blisters appear on the back after cupping, it may be due to improper operation, leaving the cupping for too long and other factors, causing the patient to burn, or it may be related to the patient’s physique. However, all are abnormal phenomena.
Patients with blisters should pay attention not to rub, generally 3 to 5 days to absorb. Serious cases should be timely consultation and standardized treatment.
