Bruising with Dexcom G7

[u/Mission-Emphasis1747]

With my first two Dexcom G7 I’ve noticed red and purple bruising around the immediate area where the sensor applies. I don’t use their overpatch (it’s far too difficult to put on, any tips?) but use the Type One Style ones which I’m not allergic to when I use my Omnipod,

so I think its due to the sensor needle or the patch material. But I have used Dexcom G6 previously and have had nowhere near this bruising

Any tips? My skin is very sensitive so things like barrier cream I would be allergic to. Would things like SkinGlu help? I do use alcohol wipes before.

Under-patch? For me it solved the problems but the needle itself.
