Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML

hmmm...Maybe, you should have gone to the freakin doctor if you sliced your arm that badly idiot! Your pharmacist's job is to give you medicine, not diagnose you.

I know exactly what you mean! I am allergic to the fabric and the sticky stuff on all bandaids... It is majory gay. Everytime I accidentally cut myself I have to use a towel to stop the bleeding and then I have to be careful not to reopen the cut everytime I am doing something... And as for the pharmacist, it may not be their job to diagnose but they should know what lotions etc are recommended for itches and then he should have also given an alternative for a bandaid. My friend from school is working in a pharmacy.

Your doctor or pharmacist should be able to advise you in which bandaids are hypo allergenic. different brands use different adhesive and fabric

I think sore meant that after s/he realized that they were allergic to the bandage, s/he went back to the pharmacy to get another kind of bandage. The pharmacist must have seen it and said to put a band-aid on it. Am I right?

A pharmacist (at least one who paid attention in school) should know that you need to probably talk to your doctor. They can at least recommed hydrocortisone to help the itch. they should also be able to tell you a type of band-aid to use. if its bad enough though, you should prolly just go to the doctor, stitches or glue would do wonders, and no allergic reaction haha
