Glue on your cuts...

[jwhite692 10]

Hello! Did/Does anyone get clue on the cuts the Doctor made? Mine are itching like hell! How long before it starts falling off or do you eventually pull it off?????

The glue will come off the itch is part of the healing process

Neither your doctor nor nurse told you anything about this?

I had glue, what ur feeling is normal. It will go away soon. I found tapping it lightly would give it that attention it needed.

Yes but didn't say how long till it started coming off... And one is driving me crazy!

The surgical glue will come off on its own in 5-10 days. Don't try to scrub it off.....let it come off on its own. Itching is pretty common in surgical wounds....usually not related to the glue.

Mine started coming off at 10-14 days. Some were kinds gross from clothes against them. If they were hanging I would take it off, when my incision was healed.

Hi my glue came off in about 7 days. Mine were itchy as well........ it was hard to keep from scratching. However, I was pretty concerned I would cause a infection. So that was a good motivation for me. Soon this will pass! Hang in there!

I was allergic to the glue. I got terrible rashes and had to take the tape off early.

Dermabond is the best. If you find its itchy, it may be from the edges lifting. Surgeons tend to apply a liberal amount to not only seal the incision but to also form a Water resistant/bacteria resistant barrier. You can simply 'trim' the edges that are peeling, but leave the base alone. If you prematurely remove it, your incision may not be well approximated and your scar will be a bit wider as a result.

Ice will calm the itch :-)

Just wanted to drop in and gross everyone out . I had to have my surgery in Houston, 4 hours away from my hometown (very stupid insurance reason, whole 'nother story). I returned to houston for a post op visit and treated myself to a swanky hotel. When I got up in the morning my glue and scabs had came off in the bedding!! Ugh! I almost gagged! I did remove them and flush em down the toilet if that makes anyone feel better. Anyhow one incision still itches when I shower and I am 4 weeks out. Good times!
