Thanks for the great advice! I am amazed at what a big difference Tegaderm made. I didn't have a piece big enough, so I just covered what I thought was the worst part. So, I had a side by side comparison of with and without. The without portion took an extra 4 days for the scab to fall off and the skin is much drier and uncomfortable. Would either overlapping sheets of tegaderm or applying them side by side work?
