Glue on your cuts...

Hello! Did/Does anyone get clue on the cuts the Doctor made? Mine are itching like hell! How long before it starts falling off or do you eventually pull it off?????

I was glue less in 5 days. Itching sucks I had it then it went away but now it's back right around my belly button action.

It's finally starting to fall off! So it's not itching as much... Doctor said about 10-14 days it will all be gone. Cuts are almost completely healed :-)

I had glue without issues. No itching or scabs, just a fine line at each site. Too bad the effort was wasted on a no-return-10lb- baby- x's 3-belly of stretch marks ... Think that's right lol

My incisions were glued shut and steri strips were applied over them. I had no "glue" issues, such as the glue having to fall off or anything. I was cleared to shower right away, no scrubbing and the steri strips would gradually fall off. Now, as for itching, OMG. I have six incisions and five of them have red blisters around them that itch like the dickens. I use Cortisone topically and take Benedryl capsules when I go to bed. I don't itch them because I don't want them to get worse.

I didn't get dermabond because of my adhesive allergy. My friend had surgery the week before me, ad also is allergic to adhesive. She had a horrible reaction. Our surgeon opted to not use glue on me. So I went home 24 hrs later with six incisions, with no staples, sutures, or steri-strips.
