How to deal with surgical tape allergy? I had breast aug procedure recently

April 17, 2014
Asked By:FloridaMommy4 in Florida

Have already removed tape and seen my surgeon (who is awesome by the way...). And yes, based on the rash and some mild blistering it is indeed a reaction to the tape (or solution on tape). How long can I expect for the itch to continue? (Two days since we removed tape) I have to limit the Benadryl because I am driving my kids around, and have applied hydrocortisone cream but the itch is still intense. When will it go? Can anything else help? Will it affect healing (lift/augmentation procedure.) Thanks!!
