Ice cold stickers have no side effects

Ice cream patches usually do not have significant side effects, but some people may experience skin allergies or low-temperature frostbite. Ice cooling paste is a physical cooling product, which mainly reduces local skin temperature through the principle of evaporation and heat absorption of hydrogel, and is commonly used for heating and cooling or cold compress after exercise. The safety is relatively high when used correctly, but it may cause adverse reactions for individuals with sensitive skin, blood circulation disorders, or prolonged use. When using ice cream patches, some users may experience contact allergic reactions such as skin redness and itching, which are related to the irritation of ingredients such as menthol and ice flakes in the product. Infants or eczema patients with weaker skin barrier function are more prone to this condition, manifested as papules or burning sensation at the application site. Excessive force during tearing may also cause epidermal damage, especially for elderly people with fragile skin who need special attention. In rare cases, prolonged continuous use for more than 8 hours or direct application to frostbitten areas may cause low-temperature burns. Patients with diabetes and peripheral vascular diseases may not be able to detect the skin damage caused by low temperature in a timely manner due to the dull peripheral sensation. Incorrect application to sensitive areas such as the eye area and carotid sinus may also cause dizziness or local nerve paralysis, and these areas should be strictly avoided.

Before using the ice cream patch, the skin should be cleaned and checked for any damage. It is recommended to test on a small area of skin for 30 minutes for the first use. Patients with fever should replace it every 2-3 hours to avoid using antipyretic drugs at the same time to enhance shivering response. If abnormal conditions such as pale or numb skin appear, it should be stopped immediately and treated with warm water. Pay attention to sealing and drying during storage. Deteriorated gel may change pH value and irritate skin.
