I had understood the fda was responsible for regulating medical devices. This is outrageous that something this severe could happen to my body from wearing a pair of pantyhose. ![]() There are no product warnings on the box these stockings came in. Living with this has caused me to ask my employer to allow me to work from home because putting on clothes over this rash is very uncomfortable and distracting and would cause the healing time to be slowed.Īfter this allergic reaction, i have had, i did internet research and reactions like mine are posted on numerous compression stocking website forums women with a severe silicone reaction from wearing compression is an established event/occurrence for other women. The cream has caused most of the smaller blisters to dry up but the skin underneath where the blisters were is red, raw flesh not healthy normal skin. It has dried up the skin but the skin is still red and raw and likely will scar. The cream does seem to have helped, albeit very slowly. I can't sleep because this rash with blisters is on my back just below the waist line and about 2+ inches in height and 4+ inches in length, on my abdomen and throughout my pubic area and on my left leg at the top of the thigh and continuing around/across the top of the thigh about 2.ĥ inches in height and 5 inches in length and in my entire pubic area. I had to request to work remotely for over 7 days because wearing clothes was outrageously painful. ![]() This severe allergic reaction to the jobst stockings has been extremely traumatic, life interrupting and painful. I have been using prescribed cream, triamcinolone acetonide.ġ% since (b)(6) that i am using (2x daily) to treat my allergic reaction to latex/rubber/silicone prescribed by dr (b)(6). On saturday (b)(6), i developed a severe allergic reaction to the pantyhose (substantially worse than the first reaction stated above) and now have a red rash and blisters all over my lower torso front, l torso side, upper l leg, especially where leg connects to torso, pubic area and my back around waist line. I then learned that there are pantyhose compression stockings that i assumed would remove the silicone band from the top of my thigh that is the design of the thigh high stockings. I contacted dr (b)(6) and was told to stop wearing them and to look for an alternative compression stocking design. I went to a local drug store, found and bought jobst thigh highs and wore them for about one week and i broke out in a severe allergic reaction to the silicone that is used in the band that holds the stocking up at the top of the thigh.
