Bonny, that sounds like a wonderful time. I'm so glad you went.

ND, I'm sorry today is a difficult day for you.

We're home a day early from Mom's because we accidentally didn't bring enough medication with us. Also, I still can't drive my car. I'm exhausted, but on the plus side I can finally watch Friday's Hannibal.

Tea:

Somewhat squicky medical question. I have a puss filled welt on my thigh where I had a band-aid today. I'm pretty sure it is an allergic reaction to the band-aid, which I didn't realize had latex. My question is, how do I treat the welt?

Benadryl ointment? If it gets really red or feels hot, then see a doctor.

It's only a little red and not hot at all. I don't have any benadryl ointment in the house. Is it okay for tonight to just take oral benadryl and leave it uncoveredd?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Antihistamines, yes. I'd also really gently wash it and put an soothing, uncomplicated lotion or vaseline on it. If it needs topical antihistamines tomorrow, it'll let you know.

I welt more from band-aids than wounds usually. Latex, adhesive. Something is always willing to mess with my skin.

Sorry for the day, Drew. Those are hard.

Compassionately intolerant

sj, if the object doesn't feel inflamed, then you probably can just watch it. I'd suggest outlining the area with a marker so that, in the morning, you can see if it has grown at all.

Thanks for the good wishes, all. I had a blast at the con, which I have to say, came as a bit of a surprise. I might just do it again!

Does Aveeno lotion qualify?

I would think so.

Panic and consult Dr Google.

Don't panic.

And wear less fewer tiaras.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

People without Buffistas also avoid the annoyance of people who point out that should be "fewer tiaras."

My rash from bandaids usually calms down within a day if I keep from scratching it. I take an antihistamine and put on some cortisone cream.
