For the third application in a row, dexcom sensor adhesive has resulted in a rash.It doesn't hurt or itch, but when i remove the sensor at the end of its 10-day life the rash is obvious.I have raised red bumps and some flat red scaly areas.The rashes from the first two sensors look like they may leave scars; 20 days and 10 days after removal the red bumps are still visible.The three sensors came from two different boxes.I have never had an adhesive rash before these last three and have always applied sensors in a rotation on my upper abdomen, cleaned well with alcohol before application.I notified dexcom via chat today and they took a report.Attached file shows the rash beneath the sensor i removed today; below the rash is a new sensor for scale.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
