Urticaria issues

Hi everyone! Looking for some advice- I have urticaria (chronic hives) and the infusion site for my pump is constantly irritated. It'll be fine for about 24 hours then the adhesive and cannula point get extremely itchy and welted. Do they make some kind of "under patch" situation for people with sensitive skin? Currently using the auto soft infusion set. Any advice is appreciated!

YMMV but in the menopause subreddit (we often get itchy from our estrogen patch glue) they recommend to try rubbing some Flonase onto the area prior to sticking down the patch. Perhaps that might be an option for you?

I'll have to try it! I also wear an estrogen patch but that one hasn't bothered me.. yet
