NBR: latex allergy? PIP

I went to the doctor today, had blood drawn, and the normal bandaid put on my arm afterwards.  I took it off when I got to my office around 10 this morning.  13 hours later I have a rash/reaction going on where the bandaid once was.  I have attached the best pic I could get of it (sorry - its had to take a good pic of this by myself).  Thoughts?

PIP not working for some reason - maybe a link will?

    I cant see the pic.  Is it just my dorky laptop?

    ETA:  Bandaid sensitivity is not the same as a latex allergy.  I get crazy rashy skin after tegaderm, bandaids, and tape, but it is an allergy to the adhesive, and not latex.

    It looks like its the adhesive thats giving you the rash! I burned myself on my tummy a few months ago and put a brand of bandaid on (a total of 3 may I add) and the rash from that took longer to heal than the burn =/

    Thanks, ladies.  It makes sense that it would be the adhesive and not the latex because I don't have this kind of reaction to all bandaids.  Will hydrocortisone cream fix me up?

    Definitely looks like a reaction to the adhesive--you would DEFINITELY know if you had a latex allergy:)

     have a great day!

    Like others said, it's the adhesive and not the latex. I do however have a latex allergy and boy you would know if you had one. Ouch!!

    Yep, there are many kinds of bandaids that will give me a rash - it is funny to look at too because it looks like I have a red bandaid on when I take it off.

    Also, I had a PA put adhesive on myskin before applying steristrips after one of my surgeries and I got blisters the size of walnuts! Now for the life of me I can't remember the name of the adhesive, but hopefully it is in my chart.
