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.

Rashes are common with Libre 2+. Try barrier wipes like SkinTac before applying and consider Not Just a Patch for gentler adhesion. Avoid creams under the patch but use barrier cream after removal if needed. See a doctor if it worsens.

thank you for your advice I will try this.
