What to do if blisters form after cupping therapy

After cupping therapy causes blisters, appropriate measures should be taken according to the size of the blisters and associated symptoms. If the blisters are small, the skin can be regularly disinfected using antiseptics such as iodophor or medical alcohol, and the affected area should be kept clean and dry. Typically, small blisters will be absorbed naturally by the body. If the blisters are large, it is recommended to puncture them using a disposable sterile needle under the guidance of a healthcare professional to allow the fluid to drain. Afterward, apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications such as erythromycin ointment, and dress the wound to prevent infection. Additionally, it is important to wear loose and breathable clothing and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods to prevent interference with skin healing. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention should be sought, and treatment should be carried out in accordance with a doctor's instructions.
