Our daughter has been diagnosed as allergic to iodine. Daughter is soon to be 26 yo, but when she was a young teen, she had an ingrown big toe nail to abscess and doc said soak in betadine (today I would use CS but didn't know about it then). Daughter's foot swelled everywhere the betadine touched. Back to doc. He said she was allergic to iodine and to be cautious about any contrast dyes containing iodine. Sounds to me that you did the right thing. Hope all this helps, Susan Sounds as though there is Iodine in the Betadine? Funny, I am allergic to Betadine but have no problems with Iodine. Now I am thinking its all in my head...puzzled. V ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
