Blisters from fire cupping need to be treated according to the severity of the condition. If the blisters are small, it is necessary to keep the skin clean and dry without special treatment. However, if the blisters are large, the doctor can carry out local disinfection, and if necessary, take appropriate medication and strengthen nursing care and other measures.

If the blisters are relatively small, the tissue fluid in the blisters will be gradually absorbed, but you need to keep the skin clean and dry, and avoid friction, so as not to aggravate the lesions.
2. Local disinfection: If larger blisters appear after fire cupping, the doctor can disinfect the blisters and then use a sterile syringe to draw out the local tissue fluid, so that the blister wall will fit to the skin and heal gradually.
