Hi sorry this isnt diabetes related but i just sprayed some deep heat spray on my leg/back for sciatica and now the bend of my left arm all the way down to my wrist has come up in a rash and it hurts! But my leg and back is fine! What do i do???
It says to stop using if excessive irritation, allergic reaction or unwanted effects occur. I dont get it though because i have used it before on my back and leg and no problems and well no problems now either except for my arm :s

The make-up texture of our skin changes from place to place - perhaps your arms are just allergic to it.
Other things to consider:
Other things to consider:
- Is it a new can?
- Is it an old can and out of date?
- Have you put something else on your arms today that could cause a reaction if mixed with it (e.g. suncream)?
- Did you spray too close (and not 6+ inches / 20+cm away)?
Yes it was a new can! and no I didn't spray too close I don't think because I was spraying the back of my leg, just so confusing haha but it's okay this morning
