Wrist rash: It's possible that you had an allergic reaction and contact dermatitis from the bandage. Cellulitis(skin bacterial infection) usually burns and reddens instead of itching. Apply a corticosteroid ointment, but if spreading redness and/or burning develops, see your physician for evaluation and treatment.
