Allergic Reaction Around Incisions?

Right now I am 11 days post op and my actual incisions seem to be healing very well. Saw my surgeon on Wednesday morning and he said they look great. Right after surgery he put Dermabond on the incisions so they were not bandaged up or anything just a protective layering over them.

 

Now that the Dermabond is almost completely gone the area surrounding each of my incisions is bright red and kind of hot. They are deffinately not infected the actual incisions look good but I'm thinking maybe I had a reaction to the Dermabond? It is ungodly itchy and pinkish red:sad: I'm hoping it will just pass but I do have an appointment now for Monday morning for my surgeon to look at them. Any body else experience this?

I actually am allergic to the tape..mine was very bright red, blisters and itched like crazy. I was told to wash gently with Dial soap but do show it to your doctor.
