Are there any alternatives to Dermabond that can be used for closing my surgical incisions?

October 15, 2023
Asked By:Ronnie V in Texas

I am allergic to Dermabond/Dermaglue. I have a lot of excess skin and need it removed along with wanting to get a breast augmentation with a lift. Prior surgeries I've had staples which heeled nicely. I also had stitches which caused lumps or scar tissue under my skin. I'd rather use Dermabond but the breakout in rashes and the itching is horrible. Have they not not come out with an alternative yet? Is There some an antibiotic that I can take to prevent the reaction from happening? TY
