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).
