I have a severe allergy to bandage adhesive. The Walgreens brand hypoallergenic bandage was the ONLY bandage I could wear without causing a reaction. I went to buy some more today and the manager said they do not sell them anymore. I also checked online to no avail, so what do I do now? I tried the Curad brand for sensitive skin in the past, but they still cause a reaction. Does anybody know of anything else? Why don't bandage manufacturers address this problem? I have frienRAB and family merabers with the same adhesive allergy.

Thanks,
Lynne
 
I have an adhesive allergy also. If there is a good bandage out there, I haven't found it. At one time, I could use different branRAB and be ok, but not any more. I know some people do OK with paper tape, but that doesn't work for me either. When I can, I use gauze with coban wrapped around it. There is easy answer for this one. If you find one, please share with the rest of us.
 
Great News! Walgreens is selling their hypoallergenic bandage again, but in a different box that is labeled, "GENTLE." This is the only one I have found that doesn't cause a reaction.
 
Thank you

Thank you so much for the information, I have a little girl who is seriously allergic to the band-aid adhesive. We just moved here from Germany where Hypo-allergenic bandages are abundant, and I have not found any here. I really appreciate your posting this information.
