A member asked:
I have to wear a portable at home heart rate monitor but the pregelled electrodes make my skin itch. thoughts to lessen or stop the itching?

Electrode itch: You can try skin moisturizer before putting on the electrodes. Dry skin cracks get irritated by the salts in the gel. Sometimes the moisturizer helps. If it's allergy, this won't work, neither for sensitivity.
