Weird skin thing...was it caused by bandaid?!


Question: Weird skin thing!.!.!.was it caused by bandaid!?
I had blood drawn from my arm, after which the nurse put a bandaid over the site and told me not to remove it for a few hours!. It hurt pretty badly and when I finally removed it there is an area near where the end of the bandaid had been that amost looks like when you burn yourself and a water blister forms!. It is pretty painful and irritated looking!. What is this from!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Definately a reaction to the 'plaster' Make sure it is documented on any medical notes and next time ask to either have Micropore or similar, better still a bandage!. If the area is that bad try an antihistamine cream
Good luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

This happened to me before, I put a sheer bandaid on my elbow and both of the sides got irritated, it burned badly and was raised, it eventually turned into a scab oddly enough!. I think, like the others suggested, it was an allergic reaction, keep putting antiobiotic ointment on it, and you won't get a scar!.!.!.that's what i did anyways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably had an allergic reaction to the adhesive on the band-aide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i agree with luvpink make sure you tell them next time you are allergic to the band-aidsWww@Answer-Health@Com
