Alex said...: EXACTLY what mine looked like... I would have your doc take a look ASAP because mine eventually spread across my entire belly as well as down my legs... NOT fun. So so soooooooooooooo sorry you are going through this!!! :`(; March 25, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Rae said...: Oh my word. I could have totally done without seeing you so obviously ouchy. I use calendula cream for rashes and arnica for bruising on the girls a lot but I don't know if it'd touch that. It doesn't seem like bend does anything for me. I really hope it's better soon!; March 25, 2009 at 9:21 PM
What IF? said...: Oh, you poor thing! Those are some serious ouchies. I hope you feel better soon, and that the bruising and allergic reaction fades.; March 25, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Erika said...: Oh hun, thats awful! I sure hope there are no more complications in your healing process.; March 25, 2009 at 11:56 PM
Jeanne said...: Honey,

1) Call your doctor ASAP and emphasize what it's like.

2) Ask them if Benedryl is permissible along with what you're on (prepare for drowsiness).

3) Tell *every* provider about your latex allergy from now on.

SO SORRY! I know all about latex allergy... NOT FUN!
