I was wearing a bra that I had recently bought after washing it. It has wire in it as well as this sticky kind of thing for the bra to stay in place or something. Seemed like rubber, but I really have no idea. When I took a shower, I noticed odd blister-like things on my skin and thought it was from the bra lining and that it rubbed off onto my skin or something, so I automatically started picking at it (dumb.). Then I noticed the little gelly things were coming off, but that my skin started to hurt there; that was when I realized I had been rubbing off my skin. . _. So now I have this raw, itchy area on my left, and a bubbly blister area on my right, where I finally got smart enough not to pick at that one as well. It's kind of inconvenient because most bras go over that same spot and it hurts when it makes contact. It's been there for at least three days now.

What do you think I should I do? :p

If the bra is rubbing on that spot, put a band aid over it to take the pressure off so it can heal.

I was thinking about doing that as well, but do you think the adhesive part of the band-aid is going to be bad for it? >__< I don't have any of the larger kinds...

If you let the adhesive touch yes, gauze would be good, that breathes while protecting.
