I've developed a severe rash at two of my incision sites. I've had it looked at and was told it's an allergic reaction to the dermabond glue used in surgery. I was also told to use cortisone cream and take Benadryl. I am applying the cortisone cream twice daily and taking the Benadryl at night. I try to keep the areas dry and apply powder in the morning. The damned rash has not abated, but rather spread outward in a circular pattern. Any other care suggestions???

first of all, make sure its not an infection as opposed to a rash. in that case, cortisone would not be wise. but assuming it is just a skin reaction, (why now so long after surgery?) these things are usually self limiting. nothing to do but what u r doing, antihistamines and patience. |
