Weird skin problem?

After pulling a plaster off a cut on my hand, these weird red lumps appeared where the plaster was. I didnt pull it off it fell off itself so it cannot be because of that. I've never had a reaction like this before. Any advice?
Weird skin problem?
Hi loads of people are allergic to plasters me incuded i never get elastoplast as this is the worse to give a rash, its because of the glue that sticks to the skin. It also depends on how long the plaster has been on and if it has got wet and the dried again as if its a really good plaster it will stick no matter wet or dry.


My fiance is alleriic to plasters he works in a garage and had a deep cut on his hand so the nurse put a plaster on it, Obvosly one of the best makes, he then was working in rubber gloves he come home took the glove of and took his plasters of to let some air get to the cut and his hand had itchy lumps all other. He went to the doctors and he gave him some cream. If you havent allowed the air to get to the skin when you have had this plaster on this is why the bumps have appeared. Put some antiseptic cream on or vaseline and if it doesnt go down the doctor will give you smething,

Depends on the make of plaster, some cause a reaction and some don't. Find the one that is right for you.
Reply:My daughter gets that. It is a reaction to the adhesive. It might take a little while to clear, but it will.
Reply:It fell off itself? how long was it on?? you've probably picked up an infection in the wound clean it with an antiseptic or if it's swollen see your doc' for anti'biotics.
Reply:thats an allergic reaction to the plaster...it should go away soon now that the plaster has been removed
Reply:Just a reaction to the adhesive on the plaster, it will go away. Try a hypoallergenic plaster next time and try not to scratch! It doesn't necessarily mean you will have more allergy problems.





If it continues then you may have a slight infection in the skin around the orignal cut, you are unlikely to need antibiotics for this though. You can always show it to a good pharmacist if you are unsure.
Reply:sounds like a mild allergic reaction to something in the plaster / adhesive..... u can get hypo allergenic plasters from most chemists... try those in future. my sister had exactly the same problem until she changed brands.
