I normally buy Savlon for minor irritations, but when I was in Glasgow I bought Boots antiseptic cream, probably cos it was on offer, thinking it would be the same. Last night I had a slight irritation at the top of my leg, my knickers must of rubbed, so I slapped some of the new cream on. I must of dozed off to waken up because I was scratching my sensitive bits furiously, then I noticed both my legs were covered in pimple things like goose bumps only bigger, next the palms of my hands were so itchy they felt like they were on fire, I got up not wanting to disturb DH, sat in the kitchen, then stood up, I felt strange, so I went and told DH what was happening, we then both went back into the kitchen, sat for a while, we stood up to go back to bed I was all over the place, could not stand up on my own, he helped my back to bed and I slept for a while, this morning I have showered and no signs of any of the symptoms, no itch or anything.
I am 71 and never in my life have I showed any signs of an allergy, why would it happen now, with a cream I thought was safe. I wonder if this has happened to anyone else
