OUCH!

If you read my post yesterday you know that I cut my leg. Well, it turns out that some of the skin on the back of my leg is allergic (I guess) to the adhesive on band aids. The skin under one of the band aids I put on Monday night blistered, then came off when I took off the band aid! No wonder my leg hurt so much that night. The cut itself looks like nothing more than a scrape, but it sure bled a lot. Now, this only happened in one little spot (the closest to my inner leg) and not where any other of the band aids were. How strange, but I shouldn't be surprised, the skin on the inside of my upper arms is the same. It blisters under band aids, yet the skin on the outside of my arm is just fine, as well as, the skin on my lower are. I'm so strange.

It may be a latex allergy, as there is often latex in bandaids. If so, be careful, as sensitization occurs with latex allergies.
