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?
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

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?
What do people without Buffistas do?

I would think so.

Panic and consult Dr Google.
Don't panic.

And wear less fewer tiaras.
Poor bastards.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh I hate when I forget the bandaid allergy. Nasty stuff.
Comfort thoughts headed your way Drew. It is do difficult.

These were supposed to be "sensitive" so I assumed they were latex free, which they were not.

That is a really stupid definition of "sensitive," then. (I'm not actually allergic to latex, as far as I know, but my skin definitely objects to prolonged contact with it.)
