Question 1

if i have silicone contacts and i touch the contact and then my tongue would i have a allergic reaction? i do havesilicone allergy if it's in my mouth

Accepted Answer

Rare: I suspect you are allergic to other substance instead of silicone.  If you are indeed allergic to silicone , it is unlikely that you would tolerate the contact without intense eye itching and swelling. Thus the tongue reaction would be an impossible event.

Question 2

allergic reaction to silicone strips on strapless bra, what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Get advice of bra: Expert. Encourage you to take care of your breasts by going to a bra specialty store for a professional fitting & help with design selection. You will also be taught how to properly settle your breasts into the bra. If is worth the effort.

Question 3

i had a corneal ulcer 4 months back & have a corneal scar now. i hv -4.5 power both eyes.can i wear my silicon hydrogel contact lens on few occasions?

Accepted Answer

Beware: Before you try to wear your contacts again, please see your eye doctor for a corneal evaluation.  The corneal scar likely has changed the shape of the eye and you may require a new fitting.  Wearing the wrong size contact lens may cause worse scarring or even infections!

Question 4

how do i stop cloudy film from forming inside my contac lens? i have been wearing gas permeable contact lenses without any significant problems. in the last 6 months, everytime i put my contact lenses on- the right lens gets cloudy and it has a film over

Accepted Answer

This : This could be a fit issue where debris is being trapped.  It could also be the gpc as previously mentioned.  I also see similar issues with severe lid inflammation and contact lens use - make sure you are cleaning your eyelids very well each day.  I also feel patients that use make-up around the eyes need to be careful with contact lens use.  It is amazing the amount of make-up that makes its way into the tear film.

Question 5

can i use an eye drop to store my contact lenses for few hours untill i buy a contac solution ?

Accepted Answer

Contacts: Probably yes but please contact your eye doctor for certainty.

Question 6

will an allergic reaction occur at the place of contact?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Some reactions on the skin can be due to contact, but fixed drug eruptions can occur without contact, at a specific skin site.

Question 7

severe contact derm allergic reaction. ichy all over. benidrill washing anti ich creams don't help. where to go, what will they do.

Accepted Answer

See a: Dermatologist. You may need more aggressive treatment such as oral steroids.

Question 8

how much time does it take to get an allergic reaction after contact with the allergen?

Accepted Answer

72-96 hours: The usual time period is 72-96 hours after exposure although more vigorous reactions can happen sooner.

Question 9

i put on lipstick and i ended up having a painful feeling in my upper left corner of my lip is it due to a contact allergic reaction ?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: Allergic contact dermatitis from lipstick is possible but it likely would affect the entire surface where the lipstick was applied and not just one corner.  In addition, the usual symptom is intense itching, mild swelling and the occasional small blisters.  It might be helpful to take the lipstick to your allergist or dermatologist and see if an allergen can be identified, then testing can be done.
