Let's talk about medical tape...
As I've said in numerous threads, medical tape seems to be tolerated very poorly by my skin. Leaving it in place longer than an hour or so causes contact dermatitis. From what I've read, this stuff is supposedly made to be hypoallergenic. I've tried multiple brands and they all cause it.
Does anyone else experience this? Is there any particular brand that I might try that would be less likely to cause it? Or is there some sort of pre-treatment I could put on my skin before the tape that might help?
It's frustrating to implant something and have the most irritating part of the healing process be the tape I use to hold the gauze in place.
