I did a tiny bit of research on leukotape, and ... it appears it can't be applied directly to your skin? If so, how have you used it in practice? Thanks.


lol.. then don't tell my feet that smile You probably shouldn't apply duct tape directly to skin, but I and countless others have done it in the past.

I normally apply leukotape directly to skin. If I'm going to be going where there is a chance of my feet getting wet I will clean the area with tincture of benzoin to allow it to adhere better.


Thanks. I've used duct tape many times and except when there's an open wound I apply it directly to my skin.

After reading Dr. Lankford's comments however, am not sure I'll consider leukotape. I WANT to be able to remove the tape at the end of the day, which is why I don't use moleskin.

Have used duct tape for 20 years. Probably will continue to.
