[QUOTE="pumppimp, post: 467943, member: 52090"] Ouch, looks quite sore. I find tea tree oil really good at clearing swollen angry bumps, it does sting though, also can use the antiseptic cream on it. don't put a plaster on as it needs air to heal, just make sure it's kept clean, if it still looks like that and not getting any better, you might need some antibiotics. Also are you reacting to all the sticky bits CGM and pump sets? If so i think it is possible to get ones for sensitive skin, I've never tried any though. I had that reaction for the first 4 or 5 months but now I guess my skin is used to it, It did look a little red and itchy where the sticky was when I took my CGM off a few days ago. I suppose it was because it was attached for over three weeks and skin doesn't like that. [/QUOTE]
