Wearing a plaster (or adhesive bandage) for an extended period can lead to skin irritation, maceration, or allergic reactions due to moisture buildup and lack of airflow. The skin beneath the plaster may become soft and soggy, increasing the risk of infection if the area has been injured. It's important to change the plaster regularly and check the skin for any signs of irritation or infection. If any adverse reactions occur, it's best to remove the plaster and allow the skin to breathe.
Sleeping with a plaster (bandage) is generally acceptable as long as it is secure and not causing discomfort. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

Yes, gypsum and Plaster of Paris (POP) are closely related. POP is actually made by heating gypsum, so their chemical reactions are similar when mixed with water—they both harden quickly and are used for wall and ceiling finishes. But in real usage, gypsum plaster is better than regular POP. It’s stronger, more crack-resistant, and doesn’t shrink much after drying. I’ve used Buildwell gypsum plaster for ceiling work and it gave a smooth, long-lasting finish—much better than local POP brands. It’s one of the best gypsum plaster products in India.
