Many people who have joint pain will go to the pharmacy to buy a plaster and apply it to the painful area.

The plaster has a certain stimulating effect on the skin, which will aggravate local congestion and increase pain. All of them will irritate the skin, causing skin allergies, redness, itching, papules, ulcers, and even inflammation.
