Trail rash?

[Catrin]

I've poured disgusting amounts of sweat out from under a strip of Tegaderm - sweat is the main reason I don't often get more than a day out of a dressing. I'm guessing either you had it under an item of clothing that rubbed it loose, or it just wasn't watertight to begin with. Maybe a speck of whatever you put on the wound got under the edge.

I didn't have clothing over it, but it may not have been quite watertight. The two areas are on the front side of my shoulder and the top bend of my elbow (not the back). The skin there moves a lot, which created creases and...I just couldn't get it flat and stay that way. I did wash off the antibiotic cream and dried it well before application.

I won't waste any more of the expensive dressing on this- especially since I don't have anyone here to help me apply it. I am NOT very good with using my left hand. One of the remaining 2 dressings will go into my mtb first aid kit that lives in my hydration pack.
