Allergic reaction to surgical Glue



Recommended Posts

So it's been 11 days post op and my stomach is on fire. Around the cuts are red puffy and swollen and itches like crazy. I peeled off the glue (as much as I could) im taking benadryl around the clock and putting benadryl cream. What else can I do??? Any suggestions? How long does this last ?? 1520112337348.jpeg

Cool compresses. I would say wipe them off with 90% rubbing alcohol if they are not too tender. And the next time you have a wound- even in the Emergency Department- inform them you have a sensitivity to SuperGlue type suturing. I would almost prefer old-fashioned silk or similar stitching to being so miserably sore and itchy.P.S. Have you told your surgeon's office or even your PCP about this? They may have advice I haven't thought of.

Please tell your surgeon about this. I'm no expert but it doesn't look real good.

I’ve seen a few people on this site with this reaction to the glue. Have you tried any cortisone cream? Is that allowed?

One lady said it took a few weeks to stop. Hope it gets better soon for you. :unsure:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
