A member asked:
What do you advise if i had some facial acupuncture to try and help with muscle stiffness inand is no more severe, or if the acupuncture can cause a rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I have never: Seen a rash develop as the result of acupuncture needles that are placed briefly and then removed.. However, if a person is allergice to nickel and stainless steel semi-permanent needles are placed in the ears, this could lead to a reaction. This can be overcome by use of titanium, silver or gold asp needles. Take care.
