Plaster allergy?

[Mrs_Grissom]

Hi

I took the plasters off from LO's jabs yesterday when changing his nappy and next time I changed his nappy (a couple of hours later) I saw all three places where the plasters were are red, sore, blotchy and even raised and swollen looking do you think this is a plaster allergy? I'm waiting for a call back from the HV but just wondered if anyone else has this?


I hope I'm not to blame for leaving them on overnight he was a sleepy sadsack yesterday so I didn't take them off then, I left them alone until he was a bit chirpier and snuck them off this morning x

I just found a similar post to this and pretty much everyone said it was the mum's fault for not taking them off sooner crap

Please don't beat yourself up about it my lo legs where she had her jabs were red and raised the nurse said to expect a bit of swelling and redness xxx

I found this last time I didn't take the plasters off and he had the redness etc you described. This time I took them off at his next nappy change and no reaction :/

Thanks he's totally not bothered - not that I have any idea if you'd expect to be with an allergy haha, in fact he's done a lot of laughing today, more than usual...I'd psyched myself up for grumpiness because his jabs were yesterday

I have a plaster allergy myself and that's what happens when I use them (the hypoallergenic ones are ok).
