How to remove the plaster without pain

Plasters are very effective in treating injuries from falls, so many patients choose to apply plasters when they feel uncomfortable somewhere on their body. However, sometimes after applying the plaster, some allergic reactions may occur. Sometimes when removing the plaster, because the stickiness of the plaster is good, it will feel painful. So how can you remove the plaster without pain?

1. Shave before applying the plaster

When applying a plaster, you should shave off all the hair or try to avoid areas with more hair. Otherwise, it will not stick to the area and will cause pain when the hair is pulled out when it is torn off. When shaving the hair, the area should be slightly larger than the area where the plaster is applied. Shave gently to avoid damaging the skin.

2. Tear along the hair

If your hair is long, press the root of the hair when tearing it off. This way, you can tear it off little by little along the hair without pain. Or you can sacrifice some hair and cut off some of it.

3. Use baby oil

Use a clean cotton swab dipped in baby oil and gently rub it on the part of the plaster that comes into contact with the skin. The plaster will then fall off very easily and cleanly without any trace. So why is this method so effective? The reason is that the plaster itself has many small holes, and the role of baby oil is to create a certain gap space between the skin and the plaster, which reduces the adhesion a lot. However, users need to be reminded that if baby oil is not available, other oils can be used, but salad oil cannot be used because salad oil is not good for the human body.

4. Lung Lotion

Before tearing it off, apply some moisturizing lotion on the plaster, apply more, and then do other things. After 20 minutes, when the moisturizing lotion has soaked the plaster, you can tear it off easily.

5. Essential Oil

"Fengyoujing" is an absolutely useful secret weapon. Apply it on the junction of the plaster and the skin, and tear it off little by little, and you won’t feel any pain.

6. Apply hot towel

When removing the plaster, apply a hot towel first to avoid pain. Soak it in water for a while, or cover it with a hot towel, and then tear it off after a while. Or apply some oil and tear it slowly.
