Yup thanks for your input.. The same thing is happening to me.. and I am a Nurse.. i thought it was the 'healing' also until i noticed the same thing you did.. Exact same thing.. so.. 2 weeks huh? god.. this is MISERABLE.. benadryl and cortisone cream.. and maybe some Pepcid.. okay.. i'll try anything.. thanks Beverly It appears that I have a true allergy to adhesives. Monday, after my surgeon took my steri strips off, I started noticing some serious itching from my incision sites. I thought that itching meant healing, so I was just going to try to be tough and suck it up and not scratch. But then...things got crazy! The skin around the glue started blistering, turning shades of red, and hot and hard to the touch. I went to the ER last night because I was scared maybe they were infected, but the Dr. said he believes it's just an allergic reaction to the surgical adhesive. Has this happend to anyone else? How long did it take to clear up?? Thanks in advance!
