Very sensitive to adhesives. Any recommendations of alternatives to paper tape for scar healing? (photo)

When sensitive to one adhesive you could be sensitive to others so avoiding adhesives makes sense or you could test a strip on your arms to see if there's a reaction before applying on your incision. They also have silicone strips without adhesives or silicone gels that are painted on.

From the posted photo it does appear your skin is sensitive to the paper tape. I encourage you to contact your surgeon. She/He can advise what alternative is recommended for you. If any further medications are needed that can be addressed as well.

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures. At this early a stage your plastic surgeon needs to be involved in the discussion.  Ask if your surgeon to give you or suggest where you can get narrower steri-strips instead of one inch tape and if you should go a few hours a day without the tape, or use an entirely different strategy, etc.  Good Luck, you have a nice early result.
