The method of applying the cream is as follows: take a suitable body position, expose the patch area and pay attention to keeping warm. Scrub the traces of the paste on the skin, choose the right size of the paste, place the back of the paste on an alcohol lamp and heat it (at home you can light a candle instead of an alcohol lamp) to make it melt, too long baking is easy to burn the skin or make the paste mud leak, test the temperature with the back of the hand before applying the medicine to the patient’s tolerance, feel not hot, paste on the treatment site, if necessary, fixed with adhesive tape. Precautions after application: 1.Avoid local pressure and humidity; 2.Be careful not to move too much to prevent the plaster from falling off; 3.Patching time depends on the condition or follow the doctor’s instruction; 4.Stop using the plaster when the skin is red, blistered, papule, blistered, itchy and vesicular, and inform the nurse or doctor in charge in time to cooperate with the treatment. Emphasis is placed on the fact that, in general, plasters have to be changed once a day, and in some cases even once in half a day, depending on the duration of the medicinal effect on the instructions. Broken wounds should be even shorter between changes, with 5 to 6 hours being appropriate. The affected area should also be washed moderately between applications to remove the dirt adhering to the skin surface, after which the skin should be allowed to rest for 1~2 hours. Because the skin needs to breathe, sweat glands, sebaceous glands need to excrete, a long time to apply the cream, resulting in high local temperature, humidity, metabolic waste can not be discharged, it will stimulate the local skin, resulting in itching and other discomfort. If the plaster is applied for 3 days, or not cleaned between the two plasters, without leaving a little interval, the ingredients in the plaster may invade the skin deep through the sweat hole, inducing allergies, causing contact dermatitis, commonly known as “plaster wind”. The red spots with the same shape and clear borders as the plaster applied, accompanied by intense itching, and in some cases blisters or even blisters, are very painful. In case of this situation, the plaster must be removed immediately and the area washed. After that, for light parts (red spots), you can apply ointment or toothpaste with heat-clearing and detoxifying effect, or use fresh cabbage gangs to mash and apply externally; for heavy parts (blisters and blisters), you must ask a doctor for help.
