Splotches on face and painting

March 8, 2012

So, I have these red splotches on my face since I started using a BiPap machine at night (I have sleep apnea). It appears to be where part of the mask touches my face, and a couple of times they have crusted over. Ewww. I had this idea of maybe painting them with iodine, but realize I've never read any of the painting posts closely. The liquid Lugol's I have stains the skin terribly, so I can't imagine walking around with brown splotches on my face.Can somebody enlighten me how it is done? How do you "paint" with it? Just use the dropper? How long does it stay brown? Or do you use a different type of iodine that isn't brown?Thanks! -Angie"The greatest threat to the Republic is that people rarely question the authenticity of political quotes at the bottoms of emails" - Jefferson

Angie:

I go around

every day with brown spots on my face because I have some kind of weird things

growing (some are sore some are itchy) and one spot is Cancer. I don’t

put it on any days I have to go out but any days I’m staying home I

do. I used to think that a Q-Tip would be the best thing but it takes at

least 4 drops to saturate the wee pad on top. Now I can do them all with

ONE DROP.

I use a tiny

shot glass and put in one drop. Then just dab it on with my finger.

Hi Angie,

I believe if it is a contact dermatitis the iodine painted on will worsen iiit. You may need to use something as a buffer between the mask and the skin.

Thanks, . I've never heard of contact dermatitis. Any idea what I could use? It's important for the mask to sit close to my skin so it doesn't leak, so I wouldn't want to use something oily like petroleum jelly. -AngieOn Mar 9, 2012, at 1:55 AM, Marsh wrote: Hi Angie, I believe if it is a contact dermatitis the iodine painted on will worsen iiit.

Angie,

I would apply tape to the edges of your mask that contact your face. Try Duct

Tape, masking tape, etc. There are many different tapes you can try, I'm sure

that will find one that your skin is not sensitive to.. You can also paint the

edges of your mask with enamel.

Angie--

You need to report to the physician who prescribed the machine that you

are having a reaction to the adhesive or whatever it is. This will not

get better-- if you have a reaction to the material, that won't change,

you'll just get worse and worse and WILL NOT heal as long as you are

having contact with the mask material. (I know something about this

because my skin will react with things, so I speak from experience.)

Iodine painted on in order to heal the contact dermatitis would probably

help-- just a couple of times to get the healing kick started. But you

wouldn't want to continually paint iodine on the dermatitis because that

will eventually lead to another type of dermatitis from the iodine

oxidizing your skin. Different mechanism from the allergy to the mask

material.

So, Do not let that mask touch your skin at all until you've done

something to change it (perhaps taping the edges would work, not sure).

But imo you must report it to the person who prescribed the machine. (I

don't know what the machine does so I'm ignorant on that matter.) This

type of reaction to a material is no joke.

It may be wise to contact the providers there may be options in construction materials to consider.

Or a simple barrier between the mask and the skin may be possible - maybe some silk?

Thanks, . That's pretty much what I had decided to do. I think it's medical grade silicone. I'm not sure if putting tape over it would damage it or not. Hopefully they'll have an answer for me about what to do.But another question: when people paint anything... mosquito bites, scrapes, how long does the brown stay on?

Angie-- It varies from person to person and from time to time. Paint

at night and it's most likely gone in the morning. Or do it when you

first come home from work in the evening and it will be gone in the

morning, generally. You can experiment by painting a place that doesn't

show.

You could try using something like IV 3000, it's a very thin clear adhesive

membrane that is used for sensitive skin. You'd have to wait until the skin

healed though.
