Oh, yeah. I was going to say another alternative would be to use clear spot bandages since they also come in a few different shades that would match your skin tone. The ones I linked are just an example; there are a bunch of different kinds that would work for you.
Even this sort of first aid product would be preferable to superglue, and would work pretty much the same. You can trim them to the size you need, too.
Could be a faulty sensor. I'd contact Abbot. I actually put a Tegaderm Patch (Amazon) over my sensor
I find the fabric band-aids (generic or name brand) tend to work better than the plastic ones. They tend to be a little more expensive, and don't hold up as well when wet, but they stick much better and can breathe so the wound heals faster.
Although the best wound cover I've ever used was gauze and a tegaderm. Really expensive per covering, but for bigger/more serious wounds they are amazing. Best for things like scrapes or larger cuts.
I have an issue with constantly wanting to pick at mine and just the affected area getting irritated and uncomfortable due to movement and clothes. I find that this (here's the [smaller version] (http://smile.amazon.com/Nexcare-Tegaderm-Waterproof-Transparent-Dressing/dp/B000GG7UEW/ref=sr_1_6?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452501499&sr=1-6&keywords=tegaderm) - disclaimer: I've never used this one before) helps a lot. Once you put it on, it's like second skin and you don't feel it. It really helps me not pick at it because I forget that area was affected in the first place. That area won't get irritated due to friction either. It also stays all day (I forget it's there), even in like the awkward creases of butt/groin area - I've even used a combination of neosporin and acne cream under it (no gauze, just straight on skin), didn't apply it perfectly and not only did it stay >24 hrs, it stayed through multiple sessions of rough sex and showers. It was an especially rough breakout and since the entire area was kept clean by that film and I didn't mess with it, it was basically entirely healed when I took it off, with minimal to no scarring that I can notice too, compared the countless other breakouts.
Hope this helps, I'm still struggling to manage mine and it makes me so self conscious since my boyfriend is a butt dude, even though he doesn't care.
If you can find them in your local drugstore, Tegaderm film dressings are fantastic. They're waterproof, but allow one way vapor exchange (so a wound can 'breathe') and they prevent scabbing which usually minimizes scarring.
