It was officially time to change out my Dexcom mine lasts 15 days

I don’t feel it when I put one on but my goodness it hurt so bad to take off I’m allergic to the adhesives so where it was is all bubbled up and blistered also taking it off the adhesive ripped my skin even though I soaked it in oil first 😥 I have no choice but to wear it though so I don’t know what to do about this except to avoid my tattoos because I’m sure this will scar 🫪

You can’t win can you? I’m also allergic to adhesive, it sucks.

@RebelRaven it’s awful i currently have a heart monitor on that I’m terrified to take off whenever it’s time last time it left bad wounds and scarring so this made me even more nervous because the Dexcom didn’t bother me at all until I took it off but the patches from the heart monitor has been burning 🫤

Have you tried tincture of benzoin? It turns a band aide's grip into unremovable without scissors. Available OTC

@TexChik I’ve never heard of that

@MommaBear Get the liquid , the spray is too messy, apply with a Q tip, let it dry...stick on the monitor and as long as it doesn't wet...you are stuck!
