Event Description
I have been on the dexcom for over 10 years. The last sensor i wore started itching really bad on day 5 of wear. I continued to wear for the entire 10 day period. Around day 8 my skin under the adhesive started oozing. I attached a picture. When i removed it, my skin was burning and very painful. It was bright red and had tiny bumps all over. I put hydrocortisone on it. About a day later, my skin started peeling similar to a sun burn and felt extremely dry. I have been ¿along¿ lotion daily and it is still dry and itchy and red. My current sensor is also doing the same thing. Itchy and residue around the edges. I know this has to be a change in the adhesive because i¿ve never had a reaction like this before or had this nasty residue in all the years using. Do you have a picture of this product? yes. Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
