Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 The product is called duoderm, and I believe there is also tegederm. I have developed an allergy to adhesives in the last few years. I have had to experiment, and have found that duoderm can cause some minor itching, while adhesives associated with tapes cause severe itching, bumps and even welts. Hope that helps.
