I take a blood thinner. It and previous sun damage leave my skin very thin and prone to tearing. At least three times a week I use band aids to cover new cuts, and I go through them pretty fast. I even carry them in my wallet.
I like the fabric, flexible type of band aid, and for quite a while have used Curad brand strips from the local discount store. They only stay on a day or so, & come loose when I sweat, or wash up. Recently we bought a box of genuine Band Aid flexible strips. They are 1" wide rather than the 3/4" I have been using, and they stay on forever. They also have the pad going all the way from side to side, so air can get in and heal faster. I had a couple on my arm that lasted two weeks, including sweat and showers.
What a difference.......like the title says..
