I go through a lot of tape and bandages on a daily basis just trying to keep my Pyoderma clean and dry. Its an uphill battle. My Pyoderma is constantly weeping or seeping fluid, interstitial fluid. I had first been using a medical tape that appeared like thick scotch tape. After a few uses it began to peel away bits of my skin as well. I switched to paper and cloth (Durapore by 3M) tape and these worked well except for the occasional yanked hair or two.
The roll above is a product call Coban tape. It doesn't stick to anything except itself. It can be reused as long as it is clean and it usually does a good job staying in place. It will even stay secure while in the shower. Its kinda pricey, about $5 a roll but again finding it for sale online is easy and more cheap, about$3 each.
I seem to prefer using the Coban tape for my upper calf and Durapore cloth tape near my ankle.
