Introduction
Liposuction involves making a small incision on the area with excess fat to remove the excess fat from the body. The procedure causes trauma to the treated area. During the recovery period, the wound may experience itching, which is usually due to the skin tissue repairing and healing. If the itching is caused by a skin allergy, applying anti-allergy topical ointments can help relieve the itching.

Liposuction is a procedure that utilizes instruments inserted through small skin incisions into the subcutaneous fat layer to break up and suction out fat deposits, thereby achieving the goal of reducing fat. The general reference price for liposuction ranges from 5,000 to 50,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 1–3 months, although risks such as infection and swelling may occur. In general, if allergic reactions occur after liposuction, anti-allergy ointments can be used as directed by a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Liposuction involves making a small incision on the area with excessive fat to remove the excess fat from the body. The procedure causes some local trauma, and itching at the wound site may occur during recovery. This is usually due to tissue repair and healing. If the itching is caused by skin allergy, applying anti-allergic ointments can help relieve the itching.

Commonly used anti-allergy ointments include desonide cream, mometasone furoate cream, and compound dexamethasone acetate cream. These ointments have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antipruritic effects, and can be used to treat allergic reactions caused by dermatological conditions such as contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema.

If interested, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. It is also advised to pay attention to bodily reactions in daily life. If allergy symptoms are suspected, contact with or consumption of potentially allergenic substances should be stopped immediately. Additionally, maintaining clean and dry skin is important to reduce the risk of developing skin disorders.
