Bandage adhesive burn

Burn

Has anyone experienced burns with bandaids. I tried to email
J & J, but they won't talk over email . I tried calling them, but their
phone system doesn't recognize my phone??

I really suffered a serious burn allergy from one bandage. It was at
least a 2nd degree burn/cut where the adhesive was! It took a month to heal.

I know my allergy is nothing compared with serious burns, but I was wondering if anyone had heard of this?

hi zipzap i would definately talk to your doctor about it. you could be allergic to the material the bandaid is made of. when i was on the birth control patch it literally bruised and blistered my arm. it felt like some one had punched the tar out of me. i was allergic to the adhesive or material. definately talk to your doctor.

lots of love.......Ashley
