Mine have been the same way. Horrid itching I've done good about not scratching, but it just doesn't go away... And now I have a red rash look to them. No swelling. Or drainage. Went to see my surgeon today and she said its a fungal infection. From moisture...??? Idk. But she said to use a cortisone cream along with an anti-fungal cream twice a day. She said if it doesn't clear up by Monday that she will put me on an antibiotic.

That's exactly how mine look today . . I just took a Benedryl as I couldn't take it .

Mine were super red and itchy. Doc said I'm most likely allergic to dermabond. I did a week of steroids and they are almost completely healed now.

Did u have steri-strips? Or just dermabond?

I had steri-strips and my skin was fine while they were on. It was even fine a day or two after I took them off. But then I noticed the itching and redness a couple days after I removed them.

I had dermabond. The reaction started at day 2. I'm still not completely healed yet either.

I had the dermabond and was itching like crazy. They told me to try a cold washcloth and place it over incisions. Worked pretty good. Then when I saw it was coming off I started peeling as much as I could off with out it hurting. I am a little over 2 weeks out and almost all of it is gone now and no itching at all. Thank god!
