There's no shame in using the pad for what it was original created. They did start out life as heavy bandaging during one of the world wars and as the females of the military discovered, helped make life easier all around.
My outdoors first aid kit includes not only the standard fare, but at least two pads and three bandanas. The standard fare wasn't meant to really deal with heavy bleeding and bandanas make great slings, hankies, sweat bands and even tie pads on
I've got light/mild psoriasis. It sometimes itches, but I usually just use the OTC stuff for it. My ankle is my bad bleedy spot, because the way the skin stretches, but it's s small spot so a larger band-aid works fine.
