Q: cordran tape caused discoloration and scaling on my skin. almost like a burn. what do i do?

: Cordran is a corticosteroid, often used to treat allergic sorts of rash. Nevertheless, it is possible to be allergic to it, or to another ingredient in the tape. That seems likely here. Just keep the area clean and dry, with no tape or dressing. See a doctor (ideally a dermatologist) if no change after a week or so. Good luck.
