Help, blisters froam tape

Moonflwr912

yes. Tape allergies or sensitivities are mot fun. After they used Tag a dermatologist on me once they pulled off the skin as they took it off. Not fun. I had to use barriers. Electric leads cause me issues if they stay on more Han 24 hours. And stupid me put a regular bandaid on my out to heal a huge blister. The blister healed under the gauze i used for it but the area under the bandaid itself left a dark pink square mark on my foot. LOL I know better. The tape that works for me is called Mepilex.

Moon - glad to have a new recommendation to try. So far I'm limited to Hypafix and Medipore, and not all hospitals have those.

HelloKonakona, I use this tape and no more reaction or blisters, it is Silicone tape, available in most large, well stocked drug stores.

What a great idea to take a picture of the reaction to the tape.  I am highly allergic too.  However, I do not have any pictures at this time.  I wear a medical bracelet listing my allergy.   I think that the name of the tape that works for me is called Tegratol.  It is a clear plastic tape.  I have not tried the tapes listed in the above posts.  I know that I am also extremely allergic to neoprene.  I am not sure whether I am allergic to latex.

Good luck with your skin allergies.  They are awful.
