Last Sensor with Flovent

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. :(
