I started getting irritation from walker tape after wearing it for a month or so (part time). I really don't want to go to glue but if i have to i will. But one thing that has worked for me is using new skin over the area that the tape will touch. my sides and back actually tape to my hair and not my head so only the front is a problem. I have two bottles of new skin (liquid bandage) one of them has a pretty strong laquer smell.. so I have to use it in a very thin layer.. the other doesnt smell too much at all and i can actually goop it on thicker. Its a temporary solution if you start having an allergic reaction or rash. My rash was almost instant once i started having a reaction. I would put the tape on , and within an hour it would begin itching. I didnt do an arm test with the walker, but i did to a patch test on my head with red liner, with no reaction what so ever. I would say you have had a pretty strong reaction and I would be careful. You might try the liquid bandage if your going to continue with tape.. also.. some of these tapes are pretty strong, you might want to make sure you didnt just rip a bunch of skin off if you didnt use any alcohol or lace remover when you took it off.. (just a thought). A lot of people in here have really good results with glue, and with glue you can really do a lot more with exposing the front hair line.

I will probably eventually go to glue if i can't find a tape that won't irritate my head...

Good luck
