Cupping is a legend of a generation. In ancient times, it was called "horn method" and now it is also called "suction therapy". I believe that many people will blister on the skin after cupping. How to deal with the blisters? Because the air in the cupping tank is burnt out and negative pressure is generated, the tank will be firmly adsorbed on the human body. After a certain period of time, the phenomenon of skin congestion will be found when the pot is opened.
What to do after cupping
When blistering, do not peel off the blister skin. After local disinfection, use sterile scissors to cut the blister at the bottom edge of the blister. The opening can be larger, and it can flow out when there is exudation again. The MEBO which needs to be applied with scald cream is a good medicine. There is another way to pull out the blister without excessive worry, which is more common in clinical practice. You can use a disinfectant needle to break it, and then rub iodine wine. Do not touch the wound with water to avoid infection.
According to the number and size of the foam, take wheat or raw rice (dry, wheat is the best), chew it into paste with teeth, cover it on the foam, fix it with medical absorbent cotton and medical adhesive tape, and suck out the water in the foam in a few hours, without discomfort, and the hard skin will fall off in a few days without leaving scars. Blisters are evidence of heavy moisture. But it can't be pulled out in the place of blistering. It can be replaced in several places. At the same time, pay attention not to infection. Heavy moisture, at the same time, there will be heavy body weight, always sleepy performance, diet must avoid raw and cold food.

What's the reason for the blister in cupping
1. Individual physical differences
The constitution of each person is different. Some people have sensitive skin reactions after cupping, and blisters may appear on their skin. Or the body moisture is heavier, blistering can also be seen as a kind of reaction to eliminate the evil from the body.
2. Tank retention time is too long
Generally speaking, the time of can retention should be controlled at about 10-15 minutes. When the time comes, the can will be started immediately. Everyone's tolerance is different, and the patient's feelings should be the main factor. If the patient feels burning pain or the filling mouth sucks too tightly, the can should be lifted in advance, otherwise it is likely to form blisters.
3. Too much strength of flash tank
Flash cupping refers to the cupping method that takes the cupping off immediately after the cupping, so repeatedly, until the skin is flushed and congested.
The strength of the flash tank is too large, which exceeds the skin's bearing capacity. If it is pulled by brute force, it may cause skin damage and form blisters.
4. The tank temperature is too high
When burning the pot, the firepower is too large, the pot mouth is too hot, and then it is quickly buckled on the skin, which is easy to burn the skin and form blisters. This kind of situation seldom occurs when the tank is left, generally occurs when the tank is flashed, so when the tank is flashed, pay attention to place the combustor near the bottom of the tank, do not touch the edge of the tank mouth, to prevent the tank mouth from burning too hot and scalding the skin and blistering.
5. Reasons for cupping
The sensitivity and tolerance of different parts of each person are also different. Some parts may be easy to blister, generally speaking, the back, two flanks and buttocks are easy to blister.
