Event Description
I've been having a serious allergic skin reaction to the updated dexcom g6 sensor adhesive (continuous glucose monitor).The last 4 sensors i've used have all resulted in a skin irritation on my skin, oval in shape, which takes about 30 days to heal.The reaction is mild to moderately itchy, very red in color, oozes exudate for about a week.Sometimes part of the reaction scabs over, but not always.Sometimes the skin is dry and flaky during the healing process (at 2-3 weeks).The skin reaction occurs even if i remove the sensor before the 10 days of maximum wear.I've been trying the dexcom recommended mitigation strategies for sensitive skin, including using both barrier films and patches.This seems to help but even with the mitigation strategies i still get an allergic reaction.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
