DR ALSO ADVISED TO TAKE OFF DERMABOND AS I MIGHT BE ALERGIC AS WELL!!

U could also be allergic to the pain meds. Try not to freak out

I could not have any dressings on the wounds because of an allergy to adhesives .. that would certainly make u itch and it spread all over .. try what the doc said and see if after a few days things improve. I did have the wound glue but was ok with that for a little while but after a few days it began to get itchy but that is also a sign of healing so i just left well alone till i was healed .. I am only allergic to adhesives like steri-strips, micropore, surgical tape, band aids etc on my body, arms legs and everywhere else is fine so sometimes u dont know u have an allergy till u have something done

Try not to get too freaked out. Your anxiety and stress will only make the hives worse. It could be many things. So no use buying trouble yet. Rule out the easy stuff first. If it is the band THEN you can freak out, but that's rare. It's more likely the dermabond, or cleanser, pain meds, or something else. Good luck!

It is highly unlikely that your body is rejecting the band. The most likely explanation is that you are allergic to the tapes or adhesives on the tape. Take the antihistamines and hard as it might be try not to scratch. I am sure that you will be fine

I had that reaction the first time I took oxycodone and hyrocodone......I will put money on that you are HAVING A REACTION TO YOUR PAIN MEDS.
