Type 1 itchy rash around libra sensor

[thisonenanny]

I have been using libra sensors for a few years, since changing to libra2 plus a while ago I have developed a very itchy rash around the sensor, is there a cream that I can use to prevent this that will still enable the sensor to stay stuck to my arm?

I personally haven't tried them, but there are "underpatches" with a different type of adhesive which may solve your problem

Welcome to the forum @thisonenanny

Cavilon spray worked for me.

I had the same issue when I switched to Libre 2. My skin got really itchy and red around the sensor. I started using a light barrier spray like Cavilon before putting it on, then covered it with a Not Just a Patch to keep it in place. It made a big difference and I haven’t had a rash since. Might be worth a try!
