chitowngirl 886 Posted January 7, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwhite692 10 Posted January 7, 2013 Neither your doctor nor nurse told you anything about this? Yes but didn't say how long till it started coming off... And one is driving me crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhkrn 8 Posted January 7, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
change4life2012 50 Posted January 7, 2013 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????? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T'snewstart 251 Posted January 7, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acrist 0 Posted January 7, 2013 I was allergic to the glue. I got terrible rashes and had to take the tape off early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KK66 61 Posted January 8, 2013 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.

Radwilk 4 Posted January 8, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
