Itchy at incissions

[Mindy78 372]

How long does this fabric tape stay on? I know itchy is healing but I generally have sensitive skin especially with fabric tape.

My surgeon wanted me to take the bandages off after day 2 or 3 to let it air out. I also applied Neosporin ointment (they now have an anti-itch, anti-scar ointment.

They sat about two weeks, some of mine were on a tad longer. They say not to pull them off. Most of mine curled up and if it were over two weeks I'd help it along in a hot shower. They all were healing nicely. Don't touch if they are oozing

I was told not to take mine off until they fell off, but I was really itchy like you are and ended up having an allergic reaction to the strips. I got all red and had blisters in some places from them. Keep a close eye on them and if it continues or you notice a blister call your doctor and ask them what you should do.

Had 2 on my top incision fall off last night. It no longer itches like the others. They aren't red blistered or draining just itchy

I haven't had any tape or bandages. All my incisions are covered with dermabond!

At my first post apt 2 weeks after surgery, i was told I could remove them. I had a horrible allergic reaction to the tape/glue. Doc gave me a steroid cream prescription to put around my incisions. I also put Neosporin on the actual incisions.
