I have two wounds that I need to change the dressing on twice a day. I’ve gone through all different types of bandage tape but they I can’t seem to find one that won’t tear my skin or irritate it. Anyone have any suggestions? My skin will appreciate you.

    Yeah I had to proof read it 3 times to make sure I hadn’t put that. You know you can never trust spell check lmao!

    Maybe try to find some with no latex in it? Also... if you or anyone in your home have a flovent puffer at home you can spray some on your skin before putting the tape. The steroids in it will help with redness and itching.

    You might try foam tape - I found it less irritating than regular bandage tape.
