Reddit reviews Nexcare Tegaderm Transparent Dressing - 2-3/8 Inches X 2-3/4 Inches - 100

I'm with you on the bandaid adhesive allergy. And yes I can use tegaderm I've actually been using it on the same two areas 24x7 for over a month now after HS surgery on my groin and thigh. It is very expensinve, however I found that you can save a lot of money buy purchasing it in 100 packs from Amazon.com. It's normally about $1 US per sheet at the store in a box of 10 but on that link it's almost 1/4th the price! I actually got Amazon Prime just for this 3 years ago after my first HS surgery and it's paid for itself. They sell larger sized sheets but you can just use multiple ones of these instead and it's more cost effective. Hope this helps you and anyone else save some money!

[Edit] I just wanted to say to anyone else I really love tegaderm this stuff is awesome it's a little tricky to use at first (kind of like how saran wrap is tricky, but not that bad) but it's definitely some awesome stuff and a lifesaver to people like me and IdahoLynxx. I really wish I could tell the world about this stuff. If I put a bandaid or tape on sensitive area of skin I will get a poison ivy like rash and have had the skin rip off when taking off the bandaid but not with tegaderm.

I've been using patches for a couple of months now. I've had a couple times where one didn't stick well. There are breathable transparent patches (Tegaderm) that will cover them and hold them on well, if you get one that's not holding. Wiping the application area first with some alcohol helps. Don't apply consecutively in the same spot.

They also get a gray ring of lint or something at the edges where the adhesive is a bit exposed. It is easily removed with Hollister's Medical Adhesive Remover patches.
