Should I be concerned about these blisters from surgical tape? (Photos)

Hello,Some have bad reactions to tape. These should be okay. Keep antibiotic ointment on them and keep follow-up with your surgeon so he/she can monitor them. All the best in your recoveryDr. BlaggAustin, TX

The blisters do not look concerning and definitely not an infection. You can leave them alone, as the skin acts like a biologic bandaid, or dress them with an antibiotic ointment and gauze to cover. There definitely isn't any skin necrosis or anything that looks like a deeper tissue issue. 

They don't look infected but also don't look great.  I wound revisit with your plastic surgeon to clean up the blisters and use a dressing without adhesive like it seems you are doing.   This may be a time to use gentle wound care and let this settle.  You seem to be doing all the right things.  Best Wishes!!

Dear Corebeautyaz,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Sometimes surgical tape can cause blisters which are harmless in most cases. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon in case you are concerned. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Blisters are a common reaction to patients that are sensitive to adhesive although steri-strips are usually well tolerated by most patients. The blisters do not look infected or like there are any other concerning problems. You can leave them alone or put triple antibiotic ointment on them. It is important to follow up with your surgeon so they can continue to monitor them and give further recommendations.

Blisters can occur with adhesives, though Steri-Strip tapes are fairly well tolerated by most patients. It is a good idea to apply topical antibiotics to the blisters to protect the underlying healing skin as the blisters open. In the absence of pink warm discoloration of the skin itself, the blisters are unlikely to be infected but it is possible that the skin may end up with discolored marks (whitish or reddish) once healed. It is important to follow through closely with your plastic surgeon and follow the surgeon's recommendations.

Blisters can occur and best to run these photos past your PS. Your scars look fine and this should all settle.
