hi i was banded a week ago today and i have 5 incisions with surgical glue on them. some of it is peeling and all of them are itchy. how long does it take to come off? do they come off on there own? thank you

I had dermabond on my incisions, and my surgeon ended up taking it off, because it made my incisions look bad. Since the dermabond has been off, my incisions seem to be healing better. I have 5 total, and only one still has the dermabond on and looks normal. The other 4 I just have covered with bandaids. In the ideal situation the glue will eventually just start coming off on its own. My incisions itch too...just part of the healing process!

ETA: Try using a cool compress to your incisions to help reduce the itching.

I was banded the beg. of May and I had the glue and it took awhile for mine to completely come off and mine was very itchy and I had red little bumps all over. The dr. gave me an antibiotic but it ended up just being an allergic reaction to something.
