Is it normal for our arms to swell after scraping?

In fact, swelling after scraping may be caused by subcutaneous exudation caused by scraping. Although this is not a normal phenomenon, it is also very common. When this happens, remember to avoid external stimulation, as this will make the pain worse. In addition, you should avoid moisture and keep it clean on a daily basis. If you persist for a few days, the swelling will gradually subside. If the symptoms are more obvious, you can take some anti-swelling and dehydration drugs to relieve them.

Swelling of the arm due to scraping may also be caused by too heavy a technique or by an infection leading to a disease. Patients can apply local cold compresses and then apply Bactroban to the affected area for treatment. Moreover, swelling of the arm may be caused by the incorrect use of force, so pay attention to the strength and apply safflower oil to the affected area to relieve the symptoms.

It is normal for red, purple or black spots to appear on the skin surface after scraping, which is the sha mark. These changes in the skin can last for several days. Moreover, the depth of color of the sha marks usually reflects the severity of the disease. The marks left by scraping are different for each person. Normal people will have mild subcutaneous bruising, such as light red or dark red, which are all normal. If it is purple or purple-black, or even accompanied by blue, black and other spots, it indicates that there is a lesion in the patient's body. Moreover, the greater the force, the more obvious the mark will be, and the darker the color, the more it indicates that the patient has blood stasis or is suffering from severe cold.

At the same time, it should be noted that scraping should not be done on the same part for a long time, as it can easily damage the vital energy. Because scraping is a comprehensive conditioning process, the whole body must be scraped slowly and reasonably. If you do scraping regularly, it can relax the muscles and tendons and dredge the meridians. It has a good effect on relieving cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, low back pain and other diseases. Gua Sha can also regulate Qi and blood, strengthen the body, prevent and cure diseases, and is very good for health. At the same time, it can promote metabolism and excrete toxins. Gua Sha can also scrape metabolic waste from the body to the body surface in time, and then deposit it into the subcutaneous pores, so that the blood flow in the body is smooth and the natural vitality is restored. It is even beneficial for regulating muscles and tendons, dispersing knots, and improving joint mobility. As long as you persist, you will be able to regain your smile.
