Question for those who had their incision sites glued?

[laurashelby 8]

I know most people talk about stitches but my incision sites were "super glued". I'm day 4 post-op and they look great but it's like there's a circle (maybe the glue?) drying up arond each site. Like maybe it might just peel off? Anyone have any experience with this?

Yep in a few weeks mine came off. My surgery almost scraped them off. Talk with your doctor!

Same for me.......glue and stri-strips and band-aids. By the third week, most of it had worked its way off. The steri-strip residue will come off with something oily, like baby oil, olive oil, etc. The only issue I had with the incisions was a couple of blisters from the band-aids, but they have healed, too.

I didn't have anything over mine...band aids or steri strips. Sounds like it's just glue residue

I had glue and had an allergic reaction. never had anything itch so bad in my life, red bumps and itchy. had to get a zpac even though steroids are not recommended

It will wear off on it's own. When mine peeled easily without pulling on the skin my Dr told me I could remove it. No big deal.

I had 5 incisions. The 4 small ones were glued. The largest incision was glued and had 2 stitches. My doc removed the stitches on my first monthly visit.

Just glued. My grand-daughter thought it was cute. She kissed and touched it. By the end of 1.5 weeks it just fell off, I have no idea where, it just disappeared. My scars are not bad either, very minimal
