aguagirl19 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi I had my surgery done about two and half weeks ago. I was wondering if the area around anyone's incisions were irratated? I think the glue used during the surgery may have irratated the skin just around the incisions. It's a little itchy. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks everyone.

Hi, I am on day 12 post-op and my largest incision was the one that stayed red the longest, just this evening the scab came off and the scar is minimal. I had been applying neosporin to my incisions a couple times a day and then covering them with a band aid. I am now starting with Mederma since the scabs have fallen off. If your incisions are itchy, that's good, it means you are healing, just lightly scratch around the incision, this feels sooo gooood. When in the shower clean them normal with cleanser and pat dry. Your doing fine. If your skin is more irritated than normal, you might want to contact the dr. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just healing, no worries. Start on Vitamin E & Maderma when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolek Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi I ended up having a bit of an allergic reaction to the glue and I know a few others have as well. I put hydrocortizone cream on and then it was fine. Don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguagirl19 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks for all the tips. I started using anti-itch cream around the skin yesterday and it's really helped. Plus, I started using maderma on the incisions today. Take care everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
