Is there any harm to the human body from ice cold stickers? Are there any disadvantages to ice cold stickers

The normal use of ice cream patches generally does not cause harm to the human body, but improper use or special physical conditions may cause skin irritation, allergies, and other problems. Ice cooling patches mainly relieve fever or local pain through physical cooling, and their main ingredients are cooling substances such as water and menthol. When using ice cream correctly, its cooling ingredients are absorbed by the skin to help reduce local temperature, which is suitable for relieving mild heat stroke, muscle soreness after exercise, or low-grade fever. Products are usually made of skin friendly materials, with good breathability and less likely to cause skin discomfort. Some people may experience temporary skin redness after use, which is a normal physical cooling reaction and can be restored after removal. Choosing ice cold patches produced by legitimate manufacturers and controlling the single use time within 4 hours can avoid most adverse reactions.

People with impaired skin barrier function may experience contact dermatitis when using ice cream patches, manifested as persistent erythema, itching, or burning sensation. People with allergic constitution may have allergic reactions to ingredients such as menthol, resulting in symptoms such as rash and edema. Infants and young children have delicate skin, and prolonged application may lead to excessive loss of moisture from the stratum corneum. Improper use, such as applying for more than 8 hours or on damaged skin, may cause frostbite like damage to the skin. These situations require immediate cessation of use and cleaning of the skin with warm water. If symptoms persist, medical attention should be sought.

Skin tolerance should be tested before using ice cream patches, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eye area and mucous membranes. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius or persists, seek medical attention promptly and do not rely on ice cream patches for treatment. When storing, be careful to avoid high temperatures or direct sunlight. Use as soon as possible after opening to ensure cooling effect. For special groups such as pregnant women and diabetes patients, it is recommended to consult a doctor before use.
