Rash/allergic reaction to glue? (Photo)

Newmenreboobie
Hi, 2nd breast augmentation in 1 year to correct the capsular, I am 5 weeks post op. I removed the clear tape around the incision site few days ago because it itches. I noticed around the incision site developed baby red bumps, it itches and a bit of burning feeling to it. Is this normal? Am I allergic to the tape/glue used on the incision site? How do I get rid of it? It's really difficult to wear a sport bra or anything touches against it. Thanks
