Review on Nexcare Tegaderm Waterproof Transparent Dressing by Francisco Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

AMBIVALENT CAREFUL! Skin tear when removing patch.

VERY ambivalent about this product. On the one hand the seal is excellent and keeps my medicated patches really dry in the shower for the full 3-4 days of use. However, they stick too well. and tore my skin off when I pulled it off! In one case, a 1 x 1.5 inch wound remained on my arm! So. Be careful not to place them where the skin is thinner/more sensitive (like the inside of your arm) or where you may be using exfoliating creams/products (like Aspercreme). My skin break occurred on the thicker upper shoulder so it was NOT an area where the skin is thinner/more fragile🤷‍♀️ but I use Aspercream there, albeit not regularly. BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVAL!

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
