1 Cupping This method has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and a wide variety of other medical traditions since 3000 BC. A vacuum is created in a glass cup by placing a small amount of alcohol at the bottom of the cup, then lighting it and immediately placing it on to the skin. The suction created results in a circular area of purpura that is sharply demarcated. Source: Dermatitis Artefacta, Weinberg's Color Atlas of Pediatric Dermatology, 5e Citation: Prose NS, Kristal L.
