Vivo Active 4. Feel the burn!

Is Garmin doing anything about their watch backing leaving chemical burns? At first I got a reaction to the watch strap which I resolved with a nylon strap. But I keep getting circular skin burns behind the watch face. It seems like it has a problem that has been going on for years with Garmin watches but nothing seems to being done about it. After researching what the cause could be I think it comes down to the open charging port reacting with sweat and causing a chemical burn. Is Garmin going to move the charging port so users don't get burned? The features on these watches are great but the itchy burn is not. Luckily I bought it from a reputable store that is aware of the issue and offering me a full refund.
I know Garmin has a 'Health Group" responding to these burn issues. Please do something about it other than refunds. It's a design flaw, please fix it.
