They just wanted to get their hands on you. Can you blame them?

But of course!

i am too. i always specify paper tape or i get red and itchy.

Aww, poor thing.

Rubbing alcohol wont do much for the sticky mess.

If you need it off quick, and you skin can handle it, WD-40 works.

Otherwise I would ignore it for a few days, tiny fibers from you cloths will get caught on it and make the glue easy to rub off in the shower.

baby oil will lift the glue off but unfortunately it doesn't do anything about the reaction

I'm allergic to adhesive - even bandaids bug me.

 

[ammre]

me too! me too!

After my chest suspension they put tagaderm bandages on my chest over the holes. They are awesome bandages becasue they won't leak and are like uber high quality, unfortunatelly, when I took them off I took a little bit of skin with them becasue my skin had such a bad reaction. to this day I cna't wear a band-aid for longer then 4 or 5 hours without red bumpies.

I learned long ago that I had to specify hypo- or non-allergenic tape for anything they wanted to do to me before they started doing it, or I was (sorry) stuck with the result.

At my first heart attack, I put a red allergy wristband on each wrist with "Adhesive Allergic!" written on them, because they kept coming in while I was asleep and doing things to me, many of which involved adhesively attaching things to my body before I was awake enough to protest. That helped. Some. Some of them, however, didn't bother to look at the allergy wristbands because they weren't putting anything IN me, and figured they didn't need to bother.

After I bitched loud and long to/at my cardiologist - and told him the stress of dealing with the issue was really not good for my heart - he went out and laid the law down to the nursing supervisor, who passed it on to the rest of the staff. I had no more tape problems on that stay.

Yeah, the last time I got a bandaid was my routine injections. The regular nurse, but she never remembers - she sees a lot of people, I don't expect her to. The issue is instead of 12ish, when I normally get it, it was 7 am. I was half asleep. I didn't even think of it until it was on me and I started itching. I had marks for a month.

My problem isn't the latex - I have no problems with latex. I wear them for two hours mon, wed, and fri every other week. It's the adhesive. Oh, and plastic tapes is an even huger no no - it gives me blood blisters.
