I currently have 106 patches, on my little back, that I must wear for the next 48 hrs. They take up all of the space on my back, LOL! After this, I will know pretty much everything that irritates my skin or causes an allergic reaction. Funny thing is, my skin has not been bothering me in about
a week now. After I cut out isopropyl alcohol, no more significant reactions.

Did you get someone to take a photo? Is one of them for the alcohol? Are they labelled?
Hope everything gets sorted out and your skin stays clear.

W
W !!! Hope this cinches it for you--for good.
Could it be as simple as just an allergy to alcohol?

Yes, the isopropyl is included. It is actually an ingredient in a few of the things that are on my back. And, actually, I heard wrong. There are 146 patches on my back. They are all labeled with numbers on the strips. No one took a picture. Should they have?
I am so happy about
the way things are going. Hopefully, things continue this way.

Oh, I just meant the pic as a memento for you -- as in, can you believe I had 146 patches on my back????

LOL! My husband told me today that I am a medical nightmare. My back is absolutely hysterical to look at. We did take pictures.

a friend's son just went through the same thing - poor guy was allergic to darn near everything and he was a welty red mess :( I hope this gives you the answers you need!

Well, as of this morning I had only really reacted to the products that contained isopropyl alcohol. There was one more slight reaction to another product, but nothing terrible at that point.
As of now, a few more things are showing mild reactions. I'll know for sure tomorrow what the deal is. I am pretty happy that I am not a welty red mess, as that would not be good, since I have to spend the rest of my life under adhesives. I am sorry that a little guy has to go through that though :(.
