Ruling on Applying Medical Adhesive

Question
Whoever applies a medical adhesive that may harm what is underneath it, can they wipe over it like the ruling on a splint? In addition, is the person considered to have an excuse and can they wipe over it at every prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Wiping over the adhesive bandage, if it harms what is beneath it like wiping over a splint, one can wipe over it when performing ablution, and he is not considered among those with excuses. And God knows best.
