I have the same problem and l now ask my provider to use the clear light bandaid
This same thing happens to me. I’ve had my flu shot bandaid mark for 7 months now. My allergist said not an allergy as wasn’t red/raised/itchy. Likely skin bleaching/hypopigmentation from adhesive in bandaid tape. Nothing to do with how tightly it is applied. Haven’t found anything that resolves it however
I’ve had this happen to me too, and the longest I’ve had one was over a year. My advice is wash and moisturize it until the color comes back, and next time keep the bandaid less tight and on for less time.
Would the hydro-cortisone work for real red itchy marks, left from a band-aid?
Hi,
I think there is no cause for concern regarding band aid mark. Probably they would have been put too tight. Alternatively, a lot number of people have reaction to adhesive part of band-aid. Have you tried applying any emollients, hydro-cortisone cream in that area?
Hope this helps.
Bye.
