@woondogger My skin is so fragile, the bandaids, which are made to stay put [yeah for that feature!] actually tear my skin layers. I use sterile gauze and cloth tape instead. My sister has a latex allergy, and I think she carries her own with her everywhere!

You take care, also.

Another GREAT option! Thank you for sharing. I'd forgotten about the magical properties of paper tape!!

I had the same thing happen with bandaids Ginger. I learned the hard way by putting a bandage on a cut on my forearm and when I took it off it tore the skin off my arm. Made a minor cut much worse! I do the same thing you do with
gauze. I also found lubricated bandages that don’t stick unless left on too long so they dry out. I wrap an ace bandage over them. A doctor at an urgent care used one on an infected wound on my upper arm and presto, another aid in my arsenal for bruise and wound care!
