I have sensitive skin and the adhesive was irritating me. Once I ditched the bandaids it got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2235593 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 21:38:00 +0000 winter_wonder 2235593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@momazon: @miss Sarah: I don't know why I didn't think of a cami, I'm definitely trying this tomorrow! Thanks!</p> <p>@bluestripedbee:I have been using bandaids, but maybe I should look for something a bit bigger that provides more coverage?</p> <p>@twodoghouse: good to know, I will definitely keep monitoring it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2234532 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:15:09 +0000 twodoghouse 2234532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used band aids, as well, which helped cut down on irritation. However, I did end up breaking out in hives around my injection sites. I had been taking PIO successfully for weeks (I think I was 6 weeks pregnant by then) then I suddenly broke out with this reaction. My dr said sometimes your body just gets sick of it and gives out an immune response. I did not switch oils since I did fine with the original oil for so long. I just took oral Benadryl (not topical) and it helped my reaction. If you think the itchiness is hives, you could talk to your dr about something to give you comfort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2234527 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:06:23 +0000 BSB 2234527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use a bandaid to cover up the injection site? I would usually bleed when I did my injections. So I used a lot of band aids...</p> <p>It's also possible that you are allergic but I would see if you can stop the rubbing first. Leialou (now Mrs. pickles) had to switch to a different oil. I think they can make it in 3 different types of oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2234526 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:02:09 +0000 Miss Sarah 2234526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I echo the camisole advice. I also ended up putting large bandages over my injection sites towards the end due to irritation! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2234524 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 07:00:00 +0000 momazon 2234524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you wear a camisole tucked in, so the friction of the waistband is lessened? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pio-injection-sites-itching#post-2234497 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 06:34:45 +0000 winter_wonder 2234497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like the waistline of my pants are hitting right where my PIO injection sites are. When the waistband of my pants rub it just makes the injection sites itch! :bummed: </p> <p>On the weekends I just wear stretchy pants either really low or really high. But this isn't feasible with jeans and nicer work pants. </p> <p>What tips do you have for me?! </p>
