I meant to post this earlier in the week, but here is a picture of my arm after I took my last sensor off:
There were two hard blotches that ended up opening yesterday to leak a bit of fluid. :(
Needless to say, this was my last sensor using Flovent. My doctor gave me a prescription for Betaderm cream to try instead because it's a bit stronger than Flovent (I have a Betaderm ointment which I am using to help heal these up; my doctor said the cream will be better to put under the sensor because it will dry faster than the ointment). He told me to put some on a day before I'm putting on a new sensor then an hour before; the hope is that will really help prep my skin.
It's been a few days since I've had the new sensor on with the Betaderm cream, and I'm a bit concerned about what's happening. My arm has been super itchy since I put the sensor on (but I'm not sure if that's because I've got new skin trouble or if the sensor is on some old spots that hadn't fully healed). I guess I'll find out once this sensor comes off. :(
