[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1527646, member: 265172"] Thanks, [USER=51029]@Medusa41[/USER] ! It's improving but still really stings, especially in the shower. Tis properly burnt! It looks a little bit like the tattoo of a red lipstick print my friend's got on his neck..... which is a similar colour but less scabby! I have got and am using some Cavilon spray under the cannula I'm supposed to be changing tomorrow. It's a bit itchy already, though. The cannula I replaced the evil one with lasted two days before I took it off but in fact only left a small mark which was nothing like Friday' chemical burn, thank goodness! Will see how the spray has improved things at next change. I also have some barrier cream to try, and a Tegaderm dressing thanks to my kind benefactor Grant. So two more options in the bag! Sorry to hear of your Libre sensor reaction. So far I've been fine with mine, but I fear with all of these adhesives it's perhaps only a matter of time.....! :nailbiting: :) [/QUOTE]
