A member asked:
How long will an allergic reaction to electrodes from a heart monitor take to show up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually immediate: An allergic reaction to the electrodes (the stickiness and/or tape) would be found out soon after they are removed and you will see an allergic ring or redness and irritation at the site.
