Guest guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Last week my daughter broke out in hives on her stomach when she had her SCIG. Well, this week, with the first needle and adhesive patch, horrible itching began and soon her entire stomach was bright red. I feel pretty sure it is the adhesive as the only place it was not red was immediately surrounding the needle where the adhesive was not stuck. This problem persisted even with Benadryl and ice, and was worse than last week. MY QUESTION IS, those of you whose children have allergies to adhesive bandages, what do you use to help hold the needles in place? Thank you for your suggestions.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 The only band aid my kids can use are Band-aid sheer brand-they lack an epoxy resin that all other Band-Aids have. They can use Tegaderms for a short period. We use a product called skin prep underneath when doing SCIG-and it keeps the reactions down.
