Advice to heal severe reaction to surgical tape? (Photos)

Asked By:RebirthofVenus in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi, I had a posterior butt lift last week. I had a horrific reaction to the adhesive in the surgical tape, akin to second degree burns. My surgeon prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide cream, which I've been applying twice daily. Just wondering if anyone has other or additional suggestions? Have you ever seen a reaction as severe as mine? How long before it fully heals? Will it leave a scar?
