Does skin recover after prednisone?

The cheap bandaids I use are no problem as the adhesive peels off itself in a day or so, around when a fresh one needs to go on. The small round medical grade bandaids they apply after blood tests are murder to get off. Like you said, the bandaid is much stronger than the skin and causes bleeding under the skin when trying to get it off. I had to leave the last one on for days to prevent bleeding and skin injury.

our skin Dr gave us a handful of Curity Non-adherent strips 3x8. Sort of a Vaseline soaked gauze. You use an antiseptic cleaner first. This is a Cardinal wound and dressing cleaner. Cut the curity strip to cover the wound. Then a gauze pad. Then a vet wrap or self adherent wrap around the wound. Nothing sticks to the skin. Still takes week to 10 days to heal. If you take it off to early then the scab just brushes on anything and opens up.
