rash

Hey guys I was banded on March 14th and had my post op appt Wednesday after I removed the bandages I noticed raised areas around my butterfly bandages and it was itchy nothing horrible. I went to my post op and it was worse so the dr said latex allergies or the adhesive allergic reaction. And to put antiitch meds on it. So I did that now today Friday 8 days post op it looks horrible the cuts are fine and no sign of infection but I have large raised circles around my port and the 2 cuts beside the port. larger raised and very very itchy that nothing is helping. Has anyone had this happen to them?
