So I met with my diabetes team and showed them what's been happening since the fall with my skin and the Freestyle Libre. They had no other suggestions for me, but were going to talk to the Freestyle Libre rep about it, to see if he had anything else to suggest. Unfortunately no, not really - the only suggestion was to take Benadryl, use the flovent, and cover the sensor with vet tape (but not covering the hole at the top). I've taken Benadryl in the past and it makes me super drowsy, so in my opinion that's not an option for everyday life.
So I'm going to make another appointment with my doctor to see if he has anything else to suggest. If not, I may stop using the Libre. I don't want to be damaging my skin like this (and risk my skin thinning because I keep having to use steroid ointments to heal the rashes), even if it does give me better control. :(
