    Ouch! You are right, there was absolutely no call for ripping it off like that. I'm allergic to adhesive and it really hurts when it takes your skin with it! I hope it heals up quickly and you can get back to sewing.

    No. it is a skin tear...I get them often enough on my own to know the difference. Between the lupus, and excessive amounts of prednisone I have been on for various reasons my skin is very thin and fragile. I had warned her ahead of time that my sin tears easily. I will be contacting the hospital today. Not to cause trouble, so that they can possibly put into implementation something that requires them to use an alternative or a better method of removing it. As far as medication, I have a huge jar of silvadene creme that I use. Since skin tears are like burns, they treat mine as such.
