Adhesive Sensitivities - 3M Blenderm working great!
02/23/14 at 09:37:32

I am allergic to tape adhesive, which leaves me with painful redness and raw and open areas.

My dermatologist's office used tape instead of band-aids earlier this week after a few biopsies, but I still broke out. I went to a pharmacy and purchased tape for sensitive skin. I still broke out.

I needed a way to keep the gauze covered over my biopsied skin area located in my front upper torso and center back. I went to my allergist's office and showed them my rash and raw skin. They gave me a roll of clear 3M BLENDERM tape. This stuff is amazing! No new rash or skin being torn to rawness. Smiley

This may be helpful to some of you to try!

Hi Joan,

Our compounding pharmacy said that they would order it for me. Also, I found it online at: http://www.3m.com/product/information/Blenderm-Surgical-Tape.html I would imagine you could also find Tegaderm the same way. I wrote to 3M on their website asking them about another product. They also make Nexcare, which I am allergic to. They obviously have several adhesive formulas that they use. I need to find out what additional products they sell that use the same adhesive as the Blenderm. Happy hunting!

Reply #5 - 03/01/14 at 11:40:13 I ordered tegaderm patches from Amazon. I had surgery last year and used something very similar (bioclusive?), but I couldn't find a place to buy it as a normal consumer. Heather EDIT: It is "bioclusive" and Amazon has it now... it's just more expensive than tegaderm.
