Hi!
I have had problems since my 1st mohs surg with inflammation and small red bumps, minor itching, small raw spots where the tape or band aids have been on and had to be changed 2x/day. Noticed this has persisted beyond using the tape for past few surgies and biopsies. Got the least reaction from the paper tape (micropore) but still some. Have used chammomile tea to calm and heal this. Has anyone else had problems with the tape, band-aids, adhesive w/frequent dressing changes? This reaction has been only on my face with the tape/band-aids.

Has anyone used anything besides the usual petroleum jelly with or without the topical antibiotics?
Thanks!
