I've been using a pack of 10 bandages for over a week now to cover up a large scratch my cat gave me a week ago. The scratch has cleared up just fine. I haven't put one on the scratch for about two days now. I work at a fast food place and got burn on my wrist, so I also used the same bandage to cover it up while I went to work and when it first happened...
Anyways, today I sat out in the sunshine and read a book for an hour. About an hour after that I noticed my wrist was starting to get red. I thought I rubbed it against something wrong, but an hour later I noticed it on my leg...It makes a perfect oval around the scratch...
My only guess is that the adhesive reacted to my skin in the sun, and I have been using antibiotic cream religiously to reduce the possibility of scars with both of them.
The rash is just red and honestly I thought it was the beginnings of a sunburn at first. Any advice as to what to do with it? Cover it up with tape and a paper towel (I know I am not allergic to tape since I did that with poison ivy about a month ago)...Any cream suggestions?
Thanks all
