Event Description
I use the dexcom 6 glucose device and the sensor that i attach to my skin breaks it out severely. I started using this product in (b)(6) 2020 and did not any issues. It came with a 3 month supply, but when i reordered that is when i started having the problem. I have notified dexcom about the problem. They have called me buy that does not help with my skin breaking out. I have done research on the inter net i notice other people having the same problems. They call it the dexcom rash. I have tried barrier tape, barrier wipes, spraying flonase on the spot where i attach the dexcom sensor. The concept is good but it has to be something that can be done for us people that break out. I saw a internet post that said that i should contact the fda and tell them about my problem. I do not know what you can do, but i wanted to make you aware of what is happening with the dexcom 6 sensors. Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
