While there are “sensitive-skin” brands available, if you have any irritation or skin discomfort, remove the tape immediately and wash the affected area with soap and water. Our experts recommend applying rubbing alcohol to the area to remove natural oils before taping up. Make sure the skin is not red or irritated before putting it on, especially if you are reapplying to a recently taped area. “You never want to take the top layer of skin off or irritate the skin or else you cannot re-tape until the skin has calmed down,” Wu said.

Also avoid taping over open wounds due to the risk of an infection.
