Adhesive reaction

[depressed_bandster 72]

Anyone else have reaction to the band aids used after surgery? I obviously stopped using any adhesives & I’m not running a fever but it doesn’t seem to be getting better.

Oh no!! I'm so sorry. I already knew that I couldn't use the tape. I had a Previous surgery years ago and had that reaction. It was red and puffy even blistered. I told Dr prior abbot it and we used the glue. I'm post op 10 days. One is just starting to peel away.
I'd call your Dr maybe he can give you something! Hope it gets better soon

Couple of mine are blistery. I am kicking myself bcuz I had this reaction a few years ago too. I can’t remember what dr had me do tho...keep it dry & covered, neosporin & covered? Or did he prescribe something. Ugh. Wish I could remember. Guess I’ll be calling him tomorrow. The pic shows only left side...I have 4 incisions & my WHOLE stomach is like this[emoji22]

Oh no! That is a angry looking reaction. I am sure they will prescribe a topical remedy. Hope it resolves soon.

Yes mine looks like that. It’s getting blistered and itches like crazy. I peeled off a bunch of the glue surrounding the incisions but not on the actual incision and that’s helped a lot.

I started putting a prescription cream I have, Silvadene (sp?) on it yesterday & finally I see some improvement!
YES! It’s itching like crazy!!!

I did but not as bad as yours .. the worst one was on my tight cuz of the catheter ... I still have reddish area but the itching part is gone. I was bathing with aveeno, I don’t know if that helped me .. but I didn’t use nothing else.

I had that too. My surgical team knew I was allergic to latex but I still had problems like that. Talk to your surgical team. Show them the photos. They may consider hydrocortisone topically or Benadryl for the itch. Maybe something else. With time it will go away. You are not alone. Good luck!

Sleeved 9/6/16! The same thing happened to me. My doctor ended up giving me hydrocortisone with a steroid in it and it went away. Nothing else worked. Good luck

I was sleeve on January 15 and I have the same problem I’ve been using Benadryl
