Diabetic Dad uses lotion constantly on what he believes are still bed bug bites he received last year. Recently he used shampoo thinking it was lotion on his neck, chest, and shoulders...left it on all night, got blisters and burns. He's peeling like a snake now. Anyone heard of shampoo burning the skin that badly??
And, did it stop the itch? (lol)
Ha, yeah I guess the itching stopped at least til the burning goes away! 🙄😬
Doc said to watch for infection especially since he's diabetic...yay
I hope he's feeling better today?
I think I'd hide the shampoo or anything else that might be confused with a skin lotion.
Maybe get him a big bottle of calamine lotion to use on his " bites".
I'm allergic to parabens and get itching and imflamation with any exposure at all. Can't imagine overnight!
Poor dad.
Also, he very well may have put something else on his skin--who knows? Does someone watch him 24/7? My g-ma cleaned her gorgeous walnut dining table top with oven cleaner, she just wasn't paying attention to the cleaner labels (both yellow).
My dad is much better. ALL your replies are greatly appreciated,
Thank you
