Towards the end of using my PEG I too had a tape rash that was increasingly uncomfortable. I then started using a coaches lanyard for a whistle! Just detach the whistle but leave the clip. Slide the tube through and choke it at the narrow part. It kept the PEG tube adjustable, elevated to whatever position I needed, and allowed my skin to start healing.
