What kind of bandaid can I use?!


Question: What kind of bandaid can I use.?
My son is 6 and has a huge skint knee.I've been putting the big kind of bandaids,and have tried like 3 different kinds.The problem is,every kind I use he screams the entire time taking it off.I've even shaved like around where the scab is so I know it's not pulling the hair out.What kind can I use that won't stick this much.?I've tried the tough kind of bandaids,and the regular latex one,both in different brands and they all do the same.also,when we take them off,it leaves like a huge welt where it came off.It has to be covered,tomorrow we're going to a birthday party,and I can't risk anything getting in it!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
What about roll gauze.? It is a little expensive, but can be baught at any walgreens or walmart etc. A couple of wraps around the leg over a small telfa nonstick dressing would do the trick, and secure with tape, but not to his skin. be sure to put neosporin on the wound, and to make easier to get off it stuck , wet it down with water. Hope this helpsHealth Question & Answer

~~I would place a gauze pad on it, then secure it with an ace bandage. No more sticky stuff on his skin.~~Health Question & Answer
