Rash around incisions...driving me crazy!

2 nights ago my stomach was itching a bit above my belly button. Today, I have a rash above and below my belly button, and around my other 2 incisions. It doesn't look infected but it is getting worse. Guess I am making a trip to doc tomorrow. The itching is driving me mad!!!

Just to ask..were you putting bandaids or taping down anything around your sites? I had a nasty little reaction from that. I got a new antibiotic cream for that.

Good luck.

I had the same thing happen to me! I had an allergic reaction to the dermabond they used to close my incisions. My doc peeled off all the glue, and gave me a scrip for some benadryl. It still seems to be hanging around though. It's definitely not as red as it was, but it's still really itchy <_<

honestly ive have just been keeping the sites clean, and open to the air. fresh air is great for these closed incisions and as a bonus no reaction to the adhesive. i had a reaction in the hospital and it appears to be a burn!
