Re: Doctor said tape it

I had the same thing happen, the skin actually began to peel off and itch like crazy, I had developed a sensitivity to the glue they use to keep the tape on. We did try putting a layer of gauze and then the glue and tape, which helped a little but not really, most important was to keep it dry. I would be going crazy until I took my hairdryer to work, it sounded strange (probably assisted in my eventual 'forced' resignation) but it was so wonderful to blowdry the tape nice and dry again, stopped the itch. If I ever got taped again, I would try to talk them into using an ace bandage or something rather than glue and tape, it really was quite disgusting until it finally cleared up. It will go away as the new skin underneath grows in. Good luck.
