Walgreens non-stick pads with adhesive tabs state that they are "not made with natural rubber latex." i have what i understood to be a mild rubber latex allergy, so chose these to cover a scrape.After a few days of using them, changing the pads each day, i developed red, itchy welts where the adhesive contacted my skin, and which were much worse than the original injury.I discontinued the use, but the red welts did not get any better, so i went to see my dr after a week, and she diagnosed dermatitis due to the allergy from a product that was supposed to be made without the allergan.My dr is concerned that these will scar permanently, and has prescribed a steroid cream, a pain relief cream, and a scar cream, mederma.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
