So my next sensor (on my thigh) has also left a nasty red rash. Looks like, 6 sensors in, my body has decided it doesn't like the Libre and that I'll be getting these rashes every time now. First ones were absolutely fine and didn't leave so much as a small mark. Annoying. The rashes are not painful or itchy, just really red and unsightly. Not sure if I should see my GP or just keep going on? Does anyone know the latest advice? I'm on holiday now but will try the compeed/bio oil suggestion when back home. Hopefully that will help.
I had to change my dodgy sensor after two hours the other day and was surprised to see a nasty red semi circle the shape of half a sensor. It made me wonder if that would have turned nasty or become a bruise if the sensor wasn't removed. I am now wondering if that red ring was the start of a bruise caused by holding it too hard onto my skin, before firing the very strong spring . Could that nasty mark have become red and raw, like some are experiencing? I shall phone and ask in the hope that I can understand the helpful operator
