Answer: Probable Steri Strip Reaction Your history and pictures suggest an allergic reaction caused by the adhesive agent used with the steri strips or the steri strips themselves. This isn't unusual in post-operative patients and is usually treated with topical steroid creams. At this point, it's appropriate to avoid steri strips.Before proceeding with treatment, it's important to be evaluated by your surgeon. Occasionally, these findings may be related to a more serious problem. It's, therefore, necessary to thoroughly investigate the cause of this problem before initiating treatment.

Answer: Itching after Breast Lift with Implants Thank you for your question.This looks like you might be reacting to the Steristrips or to Mastisol if it was used underneath them. To be sure, return to see your surgeon or his or her nurse. I hope this helps.
