Safety answer: wounds stop the point path
A point may be famous, easy to find, or part of a mild routine. None of that matters when the skin itself is open, healing, irritated, burned, infected-looking, or under medical restriction. The skin condition becomes the page.
Stop now around broken or infected skin
Working around a wound can still pull on tender tissue, spread irritation, hide worsening signs, or make the reader think they have found a safe loophole. A nearby point should stay read-only when the surrounding tissue is not ordinary.
Ask first when skin status is uncertain
Redness, warmth, swelling, pus, drainage, fever, increasing pain, spreading marks, numbness, bleeding, burns, rashes, punctures, animal bites, and surgical incisions belong outside self-pressure decisions.
Cards and tools cannot see the skin
A printable card may show the right point name, but it cannot see a wound. A body map may select a region, but it cannot judge skin. A routine builder should become stop-first whenever wounds or unhealthy skin are selected.
What to keep from the point page
The useful part may be vocabulary: point code, pinyin, broad region, and why the page exists. Action waits until skin is healthy and the reader is not trying to bypass a care concern.
Best next page after wound questions
Use post-surgery safety for incisions and recovery instructions. Use bruised-skin safety for closed marks. Use qualified care when infection signs, worsening skin, or uncertainty is present.
Why pressure is the wrong tool for Should You Use Acupressure on Wounds? Keep Skin Read-Only
Should You Use Acupressure on Wounds? Keep Skin Read-Only is a safety page, not a point selector. Pressure is the wrong tool here because Do not press wounds, open skin, infected-looking skin, burns, rashes, surgical sites, or healing tissue. A nearby point is not a workaround when the skin or tissue is the reason for concern. The reason is practical: external pressure cannot evaluate broken or infected skin, swelling, numbness, severe or sudden symptoms, persistent or worsening change, pregnancy, children, blood thinner use, surgery, chest pain, breathing trouble, neurological signs, vomiting, dehydration, fever, faintness, vision changes, injury, or wounds. Use this page to stop, stay reading-only, or ask qualified care before returning to any point. It cannot inspect the reader, review medication, delay the decision that belongs with qualified care, or personalize whether pressure belongs today.
Questions Readers Usually Ask
Can I press near a wound but not on it?
Do not use nearby pressure as a workaround. Keep the area read-only when the skin or tissue is not ordinary.
What if the wound is almost healed?

Can a printable card help with wound decisions?
Only as a reminder to stop. The full safety page and qualified guidance matter more than the card.
