Hey Team,

I’ve been wearing my Whoop Peak for about 40 days, on my left hand. Today I noticed a darker patch of skin right where the sensor sits. The area also looks faded and feels dry.

Has anyone experienced this? Is it something I should be concerned about, and what would you recommend I do?

Thanks!
