[QUOTE="iHs, post: 279046, member: 8799"] Hi As yet I've never had an infection start around an infusion site after removal but that's not to say that i never will though............ I think for safety sake, you should take your little girl to a pharmacy and get a pharmacist to take a look and then they may be able to give you an antibiotic cream if needed or advise you to go to a GP. Regarding alcohol wipes......I've not used a wipe for about 1 year... I did at first just to make sure that ereverything was going to be ok and that the adhesive would stick ok but then I got that I couldn't be bothered anymore so stopped as the Rapid D set has fairly good adhesion properties to it anyway. Do you use a steel needle set or are you using a teflon cannula? I always pull the steel needle set out very carefully so only a tiny red hole is left whereas when I used the teflon set I just yanked the set out leaving a bigger hole. [/QUOTE]
