I am experiencing skin irritation with Dexcom G7, what can I do?
The Dexcom G7 has a new sensor patch that contains medical-grade, pressure-sensitive, acrylic-based adhesive, like the previous G6 patch. The only difference in the adhesive is a slight change in the formulation. Both adhesive formulations passed irritation testing, allow for 10-day wear, and contain no latex.
If you continue to experience skin irritation, the following link provides additional directions and options that can be reviewed with your health care provider to find a solution that is best for you. General techniques to remove the adhesive patch as well as residue from a previous patch can be found here. We would also like to follow up with you. If you would like a member of our team to reach out, please submit a request through our Self-Service Product Support Portal.
