So, about a week or two ago, I decided it was time to test out Spirit Gum and liquid latex. I put it on and left it for a while (maybe five to ten minutes) and then took it off and waited twenty-four hours to see if I was allergic. I had no reaction and assumed they'd be safe to use for about a half day (no more than twelve hours).
After using the Spirit Gum and taking it off (I wore it for about five hours), my skin felt dry and hard and sort of flakey. At first I thought maybe I didn't get all of it off, so I tried the Spirit Gum Remover again, and it didn't work. I've had issues with dry skin before and so I put lotion over it. Again, it didn't work.
That was four days ago, and the skin is still dry, flakey, and hard. It peels a little, but after the dry / hard part peels off, the skin underneath is extremely sensitive and burns some.
Yesterday, I also used Liquid Latex (not in the same spot). I also tested it the night right before in a makeup test-run. I wore it for about nine hours, and when I took it off, the skin underneath was red and blotchy, and extremely sensitive to touch and burned / stung a little.
So my questions are:
Are these possibly allergic reactions? and is it possible to develop an allergic reaction in less that twenty-four hours of a previous use?
I did not use different brands or methods of applying or removing.
