If you (or you child) has sensitive skin that reacts badly to band aids or other sticky products, here is a trick I've recently learned.
Before you apply the adhesive take a cotton ball soaked in Milk of Magnesia and cover the are that the band aid will be on. Let dry well then apply the adhesive. Very often this will stop any negative reaction. If you do not allow it to dry thoroughly you will end up with a sticky mess when you remove it.
My son was reacting badly to his eye patch until his doctor told us about this trick. Now he does great with it!

GREAT tip - thank you! After having Jedidiah, I am now allergic to medical tape and band-aids. Hopefully that will help!
And he looks really cute as Pirate Robbie.
