Possible Allergic Reaction to KT Tape

I found out I probably have either a slight allergy or (most likely) a sensitivity to the KT tape. I don’t know if it’s like an actual allergic reaction but it literally only gets itchy in the areas the tape touches after it gets put on

It's probably the adhesive causing the itchiness

So I am allergic to most adhesives on body tapes, and my skin will literally peel off with the tape. (Found out the hard way), itchiness is normal, burning, red hot pain is not

I’m allergic to the adhesives too… I’m on a 30 day heart monitor that has adhesive on my chest so that’s fun. Almost done with it though
