    Yes, I have a sensitivity to all medical adhesives; they cause itching and red welts where they come into contact with my skin. I tell the doctor ahead of time to use paper tape when at all possib

from the glue...any redness or irritation you need to let the doc know...

I tell the doctor ahead of time to use paper tape when at all possible. It's not as good as the newer adhesive products, but at least there are no welts or itching for me.

I was allergic to the adhesive on the tape used to section off the surgical field. I had horrible welts. Other than the port was the most annoying painful part of surgery. I had no gas pains. Had to use topical gels to reduce the swelling.

I am exactly the same with adhesives but the glue i wasnt allergic to.. steri-strips are the worst for me i get blisters underneath them, but its only on my body this happens arms /legs etc are all fine ... I dont seem to be allergic to the dressings like plastic wrap ...

I went to the emergency room and they said I had a severe allergy to the tape. My stomach is covered in blisters and welts. It's all incision sites and other parts where the tape touched my stomach. It feels like my stomach is on fire. The er did blood work and everything came back fine. My incisions healed fine. I am just wondering how long before these welts and blisters go away and the swelling goes down.

Oh my goodness, my incisions are all red and hurt. It looks like a couple of them even have puss (I hope I spelled it right) What I am doing is putting Neosporin on them. Should I be more concerned?

My incisions didn't have anything coming out. I'd call the doc just to make sure.
