Rash around incisions...driving me crazy!

[jillw8 22]

2 nights ago my stomach was itching a bit above my belly button. Today, I have a rash above and below my belly button, and around my other 2 incisions. It doesn't look infected but it is getting worse. Guess I am making a trip to doc tomorrow. The itching is driving me mad!!!

Just to ask..were you putting bandaids or taping down anything around your sites? I had a nasty little reaction from that. I got a new antibiotic cream for that.

Good luck.

I had the same thing happen to me! I had an allergic reaction to the dermabond they used to close my incisions. My doc peeled off all the glue, and gave me a scrip for some benadryl. It still seems to be hanging around though. It's definitely not as red as it was, but it's still really itchy

For me, Benadryl took away the itch

honestly ive have just been keeping the sites clean, and open to the air. fresh air is great for these closed incisions and as a bonus no reaction to the adhesive. i had a reaction in the hospital and it appears to be a burn!
