A member asked:
Non latex bandages cause raised/red skin and lasts for a while after taking off. can i be allergic to the adhesive or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The adhesive is irritating to the skin and commonly causes skin changes such as these. If it disappears within 48 hrs, probably nothing to worry about. Non-latex contact allergy to adhesive is possible and can be diagnosed with testing if the problem worsens.
