weeping, but surgeory site looked good. looks like a bad case of poison ivy! pt gal tomorrow will be grosed out!

Hope it get better!

I am also have an allergy to tape, even a bandaide. It make a worse place than the cut itself.

I feel your pain, I too have a allergy to surgical tape. It is very painful and it does look nasty like you have been scalded or blistered. hopefully it will heal quickly. Sara

oh gerry I do hope the pain will go away soon, and the recovery starts! hugs for now!Gerryvb

Perhaps the itching helps relieve the pain??
Silly thought. Hope you're recovered soon!

I do hope the recovery will be as painless as possible and that it heals very quickly. So sorry you have run into a complication this quick. Maybe some Benadryl cream or pills will stop the itching. I would first ask the Dr. before I used any meds though. Good luck on a speedy recovery. Hugs, Linda

Oh Gerry! Not fun!!! I know the feeling of itching so badly you want to take a wire brush to the area. Can you leave the tape off and let the incision dry out?

Oh gerry I'm sorry, I know how irritating that can be. There should be a RX for some ointment to put on it. *

I had a friend to was allergic to the adhesive tape Not a pretty site..Glad it is not your surgery site

Oh No. That is not what you need right now. Hopefully it will clear up real soon and stop itching.
