Wet wraps

When symptoms are severe, your healthcare provider may suggest wet wraps. These are dressings--often made from articles of clothing--that have been soaked in water.

Apply wet wraps to skin after soaking and sealing, and after applying any topical medicine. The wraps help keep skin moist and increase absorption of medicine. They also have a cooling effect. Re-wet or take the wraps off when they start to dry out.
