6/29/2020 Caller got the product on her skin approximately 9 days ago during application. She was wearing gloves, but thinks there may have been a hole in them. While using the product, it leaked from the nozzle and ran down her gloved hand. After she finished the application, she removed her gloves and washed her hands for one minute. The next day, caller started developing blisters on her hand between her fingers and on top of her fingers. There are lots of little blisters between her fingers, and two blisters on the top of her finger that have merged into one large blister. She continues developing blisters today. She denies any open skin. No therapies have been performed at home. 7/1/2020 Attempted call back to the original caller. A message was left requesting follow up information. Caller is returning the previous message. She went to her doctor yesterday. The doctor did not have answers, and sent a culture to the lab. Caller was prescribed a steroid cream for treatment, and advised to use cotton gloves to protect the affected area. 7/8/2020 Call back to the original caller for follow up. She has not heard about the test results yet. She finished the prescription yesterday. The blisters are much better. The large blister was broken by her doctor, and that has not completely healed yet. 7/15/2020 Call back from the original caller to update on the test results. She was tested for chicken pox and herpes, and both tests were negative.
