9. First - it's not a bandage. It's a makeup blob.

Second, my daughter gets regular -mab infusions. Several different ones over the years. The most frequent was every 3 weeks. Leqembi, initially, is every 2 weeks. Each infusion site heals completely, well before the next one, even at 2 weeks. And if it didn't for some reason, no responsible infusion center or phlebotomist would insert the IV at the same, still injured, site unless no other veins were available.

Third, infusions are generally given in a vein in the arm.
