I have had 2 sites where I’ve removed cannulas that have reacted badly and I would like to hear if anyone else has had a similar problem.
I have never had issues with adhesives or plasters, but these 2 areas on my lower stomach continued to scab over for months. I finally got to see a dermatologist at the suggestion of my DSN, who told me at clinic they had never seen anything like this.
I have recently had both areas scraped off & tested, & basal cell carcinoma diagnosed, probably due to trauma!!
I have been a pump user since 2014.
