Rash from Watch

If you have mild to severe skin irritations/reactions to silicone based materials, then you should stop using such bands and choose/purchase a band made of other materials that are more “breath-able” for your skin and can also absorb perspiration, rather than let your skin perspiration just sit on surface of the band that can, also, be another cause of skin reactions.

Braided loop stretch bands, nylon stretch bands, leather bands, stainless steel bands, Milanese bands that have built-in openings/spaces for skin “breathe-ability”, which can mimimise skin irritations/reactions.

Many people have varying degrees of skin reactions to solid silicone material made bands/watch bands.

Discontinue use, if the irritations persist.

Maybe you should think about trying a different type of band.

I have a somewhat mild reaction to silicone bands as they do not let your skin breathe.

That is why I purchased braided solo loop bands for my wife and I and I purchase other types of other braided loop bands.

You may have to purchase another band made from some other material other than a solid piece of silicone.

Best of Luck to You!

Is it s silicone band?

Some people are skin sensitive/allergic to silicone.

Also, it is best to keep your band washed and dried every now and again.

I would suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor and take your band with you.
