I understand. My irritation problems were where the cannula enters the skin. At someone's (Notme? XMenace? I can't remember!) suggestion, I started putting Tegaderm down first. It works! Somehow, the teg "holds" the skin so that it moves with the cannula, rather than chafing against it. Hard to explain.... Short Sils rather than regular ones helped me too.
Are you getting these reactions with quicksets? They're made from the same cannula material.
