Background : Standards for preventing skin damage caused by physical and chemical stimulation of tape have been needed. Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of skin irritation of taping over time and the appropriate application time. Methods : The skin reactivity was evaluated after we removed the tape at the inside of the upper arm after 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours. Result : Four hours later, all participants had even a mild symptom of redness. Until 4 hours after taping, half of participants feel mild itching, but There were no more serious symptoms. However, waiting for 12 hours, two participants who felt mild itching complained moderate symptom and when we wait for 24 hours, two asymptomatic participants complained mild symptom. During study, 30% of participants felt burning sensation in the contact area overall six participants complained of tightness. and ,among them, four of participants felt it after 12 hours and the rest felt it after 24 hours.
