Problems such as skin allergies and respiratory discomfort caused by aromatherapy occur from time to time, especially for people with allergic constitutions who need to pay extra attention. Dermatologists share emergency treatment methods and prevention skills to help use aromatherapy safely.

If skin allergies occur, such as redness, swelling, itching, and rashes, immediately wash the contact area with clean water, stop using aromatherapy, and avoid scratching; those with mild symptoms can apply calamine lotion to relieve, and those with severe symptoms need to take anti-allergic drugs such as loratadine and seek medical attention.

If respiratory discomfort occurs, such as cough and chest tightness, immediately open windows for ventilation, leave the environment with aromatherapy, drink more water, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

For prevention, people with allergic constitutions need to do a skin sensitivity test before use, and choose products with light fragrance and natural ingredients for the first use; avoid using in a closed space for a long time and control the dosage.

Experts remind not to blindly follow the trend to buy Internet-famous aromatherapy, and prioritize brands with clear ingredients and good reputation.
