A member asked:
I have a rash where an electrode was placed what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: Usually it is just a reaction to the glue or electrode material. Use Hydrocortisone 1% cream 3 times a day for a few days and it should resolve. If not, see a doctor for a diagnosis.
