I was using my dexcom g6 for a couple months prior to the date listed.I had no reactions to my sensors/patch.A few times i had to get a replacement due to the sensor not releasing from its housing.When i used the replacements i had really bad skin reactions.Chemical burns, rashes, raised bumps, itchiness, peeled skin, dry, red and burning skin.I have always used skin tac because i already have sensitive skin.After getting my regularly supplied dexcoms throughout the next couple months i had these reactions.I tried using tegaderm with the skin tac as my doctor suggested.This helped make it through to the 10 day mark that the dexcom normally gets changed at.I was still having pretty bad reactions.I am now using layers of flonase and skin tac to keep the reactions to a minimum but they're still there.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
