Had my Versa for 1 week, wore it loose like directions said, and developed a blister on my wrist. I now have a red scar where it was. Anyone else have this issue?

Hello! I haven't had that reaction with a versa band, but had it happen when I wore a plastic watch band when I was younger. You didn't indicate whether you had a plastic band, cloth, or metal. I would ensure you are wearing it fairly loosely, and if you have hair in that area, trim it. Baby powder or cornstarch will help as well. The blister develops from friction, so you need to ensure you've got something preventing the friction. Good luck!

Hey guys! @DangerKittie and @TexasRealtor64, let me give you a warm welcome to the Community! If the Versa wristband is giving you some kind of inconvenience on your wrist, like rash or burns, I'd like you to take a look at our wear and care tips and follow them periodically. Also, not wearing it too tight might help you out to avoid this from happening again. But if the issue persists, please let me know, and I will continue assisting you.
I'll be around!

It was the first time I wore the band. I developed a blister, and then a
red scar. It hasn't happened again.

Hey @TexasRealtor64, thanks for your reply! Oh! Sounds good that your Versa is not longer giving you this reaction. Please, I will ask you to keep me updated if this happens again.
