Allergic reaction to steri strips? (Photo)

Thanks for your question and the photo. It's not uncommon to have some irritation to the adhesive used with steristrips. I would contact your surgeon or at least send the office this photo. They can give you a recommendation. Since the redness doesn't really go beyond the incision it is likely a contact dermatitis and not an infection. Best of Luck!

Thanks for you question and photo. You may be experiencing a reaction to the adhesive on the steri strips or antibiotic ointment if you are applying that to the incision. Please have you surgeon check the area to determine the cause and best course of treatment. Best wishes.
