Sensing pad reaction from echo cardiogram

[annesco]

About three weeks ago, I experienced some chest pains, and so my cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram and stress test. Glad to say, both were okay. However, I just noticed after my shower, that there are shiny, plastic-like round marks that coincide with the areas where the sensors were placed. I scrub twice a day with a loofah all over my body with tea-tree soap, etc. I cannot get this to go away. It looks as if the adhesive has merged with my skin.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I have had several echo's in the past few years and have not experienced this. The glue stays on for a few days but then goes away after a few washes.

I haven't had the shiny reaction you're talking about, but I did some magnetic therapy a few weeks ago that required sticky pads to hold the magnets in place, and when I took the pads off I noticed that there were TONS of fibers where the adhesive was. They were twenty times as long as what I'd seen in the past and red and blue. I haven't seen anything like that since.
