Spreading Rash from Steri Strips After Breast Implants

tvgirl
I had breast implants almost 5 weeks ago and at 3 weeks, I started to get itchy and red around the steri strips. I had them removed a week later, and was told I was having an allergy to them. However, it's now been 5 days since they have been removed and the rash is spreading. Since being removed, little blisters keep popping. Is it normal for the rash to spread? I'm worried that I am also allergic to the implant. Is this possible?
