The possibility of tape removal causing trauma is also significantly increased in older people, people with sensitive skin, dermatitis, dehydration or side effects of medications. [ 14 ] As noted above, there have been several studies looking at the efficacy and safety of eye ointments/lubricants as adjuncts with tape or as a stand-alone ...
The exact mechanism of action of silicone gel sheeting has not been fully studied. Currently, many proposed mechanisms explain the efficacy of such treatment, including the occlusion and hydration effect, increased body surface temperature, polarized electric charge, immunological effects, etc. [9] The occlusion and hydration effect is the most studied mechanism of action.
The rash appears immediately in irritant contact dermatitis; in allergic contact dermatitis, the rash sometimes does not appear until 24–72 hours after exposure to the allergen.

An FDA draft suggests LASIK surgery patients be better warned of potential complications. Experts explain potential laser eye surgery side effects.
The tape might create a macerating and keratolytic environment, stimulating an immune response. [1] The type of adhesive in the duct tape is likely to be important as leeching of the adhesive into the skin may be causing the immune system response. [2] Side effects can include skin irritation and peeling. [3]
Maculopapular rash (MPR) is a less-well defined and benign form of drug-induced adverse skin reactions; while not classified in the SCARs group, it shares a similar pathophysiology with SCARs and is caused by some of the same drugs which cause SCARs. [2]
The steroid creams should generally be of mid-to high strength and used for less than two weeks at a time, as side effects can occur. [8] Antibiotics may be required if there are signs of skin infection. [2] Contact dermatitis is typically treated by avoiding the allergen or irritant.
