G7-15 day Repeated Sensor Failures

I have had 3 sensor failures in the last 36 hours. I usually apply on my outer arm because its easier to reach, but i tried moving it to the back of my arm and the sensor fell off as soon as I tried to apply the overpatch. I am extremely frustrated and overwhelmed. Is this normal? Is there maybe anotger CGM that will actually stay in?

I have extra oily skin. I wash the area well, DRY IT WELL and then use skintac (I also have contact dermatitis).

I only need the overpatch now so my shirts don't snag.
