does your arm feel like someone has punched you in it

Sounds like you must be allergic
Try putting some callamine lotion on

What does it say on the instructions?
Does sound like allergy especially if it is puffing up.The skin on your inner arm is thinner i think.

the instructions just say a rash could occur but would disappear within a couple of days.

i've been okay with them they just itch a bit, but i put one on my inner arm and it's come up like a bright red disc shape
