Adhesive allergy: Should have been gone by now, i would suggest getting over the counter Hydrocortisone cream or ointment and apply bid. If you have hairy skin, perhaps if they did not shave you first, the leads being pulled off the skin may be what caused the irritation. But, marks should have been gone long time ago. Try what i said but you more than likely have allergy to that adhesive.
