I lost a reasonable amount of skin over a week ago, and have spent the
last week experimenting with various dressings. My 3-point
landing-and-roll scraped the skin off my knee, above my hip, the ball
of my hand, my elbow, and my shoulder.
The problem I'm having is that none of the generally suggested
dressings seem to last more than a few hours before starting to peel
off, and eventually falling off altogether. As they're supposed to seal
out dirt and moisture, this is problematic. I've tried Spenco 2nd Skin,
3M Tegaderm, and J&J Advanced Healing Adhesive Pads.
All three work fine as long as I don't move, but once I walk around
much or go for a ride, they start to work loose. The lone exception is
my shoulder, which has had a single J&J Healing Pad for 3 days now.
Tegaderm was nearly successful on my knee, but after a long ride on
Saturday that too pretty much fell off.
What's the best way to apply these dressings on joints to ensure they
don't work loose during physical activity? Buying replacement dressings
is sending me to the poorhouse.
Thanks,
Sam
