band aid allergic reaction

Posted , 2 users are following.

2 band aid rashes appeared on my shin in late november last year while overseas unexpectedly as ive never encountered them before. the bumps and redness has disappeared but to this day there are still 2 dark areas that hasnt faded/healed due to the rashes. consulted a doctor in january, i was prescribed a cream to treat but i didnt end up purchasing it. will it still fade away completely on its own?

    Just my opinion, but yes it should go away. The skin didn't like the bandaid, a lot. I've had mosqito bite scars that lasted for two years then, gone. Just takes time.
