Event Description
Skin infection/irritation; i have use dexcom g6 sensors for over 3 years.In the past 2 months i have had a horrible skin reaction to the sensors which i have never had prior.I believe they have changed the adhesive and it is causing very serious skin reactions.After about 2 days of the sensor being applied my skin starts itching incessantly.I will notice a yellow crust substance appearing through the sensor adhesive bandage.By day 4, i am itching so badly that i have to pull part of the adhesive bandage back to allow the skin air to heal from the adhesive to the point the sensor is in jeopardy of falling off 6 days prior to the end date.My skin will be red/weeping, bumpy and the top layer is completely torn off from the adhesive.I have tried different skin barriers but i believe they have changed the adhesive without telling the consumers as i have heard of other consumer reports experiencing similar side effects.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
