I'm pretty sure I am not allergic to latex, but those bandaids bother my skin too. I always use the fabric ones.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

I'm allergic to the adhesive. The fabric ones seem to have the least irritating adhesive, but I can't leave them on too long.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm allergic to the adhesive.
Yep.

All is well that ends in pizza.
All in all, it would behoove Kraft to send out stickers or have retailers run them through the meat counter with a correct meat label and "Attn: Cheese!" and sell them on discount.

Our wings are not tired.
When I had a thing removed from my face the surgeon told me I didn't even have to have a piece of tape at all. He said just a dab of Vaseline would keep any debris out until a natural scab kept it protected.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's the adhesive that kills my skin, too. A gauze pad, held in place with a narrow gauze wrap, fastened with a bit of paper or silk surgical tape--gauze to gauze, never touching skin. If the wound is small enough, and not bleeding, I just cover with bacitracin cream and let it air.
Bonny, I'm glad you had such a good time.
It's my favorite holiday! It only comes three times a year--Half Price Candy Day!
But I hear that Jelly Bellies' CEO has a hate-on for transgender kids, so we are boycotting his candies--which (sob!) include candy corn. So not those, even at half-price.

I too have a sensitivity to band-aid adhesive. And to bactine. So anytime I get an ouchie, I pray and dose it with alcohol.

Band-aid adhesive destroys my skin (although, oddly, not in certain places, like my hand/fingers). And one of the ingredients in neosporin will give me a bumpy rash if I use it too many days in a row, or on too large of an area.
ISTG, I am a delicate goddamn flower. It's frustrating.

neosporin is the devil's ointment. my skin peels off from it.
funny how so many of us have similar ailments. apparently love of Buffy is for those who cannot stand over the counter bandages and ointments.

I keep developing allergies to drugs, too, which is annoying in the case of steroids, but also worrying in the case of antibiotics. Because I need to be able to take antibiotics if I have anthrax, yo! (Well, if my lungs ever stop working, or I have brain swelling or some equally horrific shit, I also need to be able to take steroids.) Stop it, body! Don't reject the things that are trying to HELP you!
