Can Redness Be On Skin Due To The Tape Used ?

The physio used kinesio tape on my knee as she said people who have reactions to the other tape have less reaction to this tape. It has now been over a week since I removed the tape and the impression and redness of the tape remains. Could the glue still be stuck to my skin, or could it have had some other reaction?

Hi,

It seems to be due to impression of the tape. I would recommend you to wait for few days for impression to disappear.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
