I'm glad you are on the mend. That sounds like a bad experience!
I have issues with adhesives too, finally figured it out when I was still getting hives and rashes/bumps from latex-free bandages. I second Tegaderm as being less problematic for some reason.
I think I'm realizing that I get the same hives/bumpy rash at the site of a healing wound, blister, scrape, etc... even without anything adhesive at all. My skin seems like it reacts to the injury itself??? But I also get the bandaid shaped welts/burns, so I have no idea.
