People with allergic skin, or people with rash and skin erosion and ulceration, are not suitable for acupoint application. If they have applied, they need to stop using it immediately.
2, reasonable choice of drugs
When selecting drugs for acupoint appendages, we must use the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of professional doctors to accurately select drugs based on syndrome differentiation, and do not use drugs indiscriminately. If there are drugs such as peach kernel, safflower and sparganium when applying, pay attention to whether there is hemorrhagic disease, and observe whether there is bleeding tendency after applying; If toxic drugs are used, be careful not to overdo it, and pay close attention to whether there are symptoms of poisoning; If irritating drugs such as garlic, white mustard seed and mylabris are used, a proper amount of vinegar or honey can be used to alleviate the strong irritation to the skin.

Pay attention to the hardness, dryness and humidity of the medicine when applying it, and replace it in time to avoid affecting the curative effect, irritating the skin and causing local pain or ulceration. If it is applied for a long time, the continuous application of the same acupoint is not allowed to exceed 10, so as not to stimulate for too long and cause local damage.
