A medicinal scarf selectively has activable adhesive regions (16) via which it can be fastened on the skin of the user. These adhesive regions (16) may be formed by narrow adhesive strips which are provided on a rear barrier film (12) of the scarf and with which tear-off material regions (24) of a backing (10) of the scarf are aligned on which there is applied a micro-encapsulated medicinal active substance (26). <IMAGE>
