Hi Janetorcas!
Just a small tip for all of you thin skinners— don’t use any tape ( yes, even paper tape!) on your skin. Use the self-adherent wrap that stretches and sticks to itself (trade names co-flex or co-ban). They sell it everywhere and target even sells it in other colors besides white or beige! I used it on my patients who had thin skin or who were allergic to tape after drawing their blood…
