What band do you have on it? When i got my fitbit i had lots of similar issues from the band it came with. I bought myself a leather band to replace it with and its been fine since
Rubber/latex/synthetic thing. It was odd that it developed after a month and it appeared very quickly. If it happens again I will definitely change the band on it.
Edit: I've had a look and I guess it's silicone.
If I use the silicone band that comes with the fitbit I get burns and everything. It isn't until I switch to... anything else, it's fine. Like I currently have a cotton? band, and it's fine. I also try to moisturise on my wrists so I don't get the weird burns.
