Allergic reaction to derma bond

I HAD THE DA VINCI HYSTERECTOMY 14 DAYS AGO. ON THE 5TH DAY POST OP, I STARTED HAVING A SEVERE ITCHING AND RASH AROUND MY 4 INCISIONS. SHOWED THE ANGRY BLISTERS TO MY OB GYN, HE SAID I DEVELOPED AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO DERMA BOND. I'VE HAD SENSITIVITIES TO LATEX, HAD 2 SURGERIES WITH SIMILAR STITCHES BUT IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TO GET THE HORRIBLE GLUE!. HE PRESCRIBED STEROID MEDS AND CORTISONE CREAM BUT DID'NT PROVIDE MUCH HELP. TRIED BENADRYL TABLETS, CREAMS, OTHER OVER THE COUNTER CORTISONE CREAMS, EVEN PREPARATION H BUT NOTHING WORKED. ICE PACK WAS ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED BUT DIDN'T LAST.IT DROVE ME INSANE AT NIGHTS.

3 DAYS AGO I PICKED UP THIS NEW ANTI-ITCH CREAM, AVEENO CALAMINE & PRAMOXINE HCI (DON'T BUY THE ONE WITH CORTISONE) AND WORKED LIKE MAGIC. I COUlDN'T BELIEVE I CAN DO THINGS FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITHOUT GOING CRAZY WITH THE ITCH! I DON'T SELL THIS STUFF AND IT MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT THING FOR SOME PEOPLE, BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THIS STUFF IS BETTER THAN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS!:

ANY WAY I TOOK MOST OF THE OLD GLUE OUT AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL SOON. MY INCISIONS STILL HAVE REDISH CIRCLES AROUND THEM FLARES UP ONCE IN A WHILE. FROM NOW ON I KNOW NOT TO ALLOW DR'S TO USE ANYTHING BUT HYPOALLERGENIC TAPES OR STITCHES. IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES, BE WARE OF THE SUPER GLUE!

Re: Allergic reaction to derma bond

I had a similar reaction. Had DaVinci May 6. By day five my incisions were very red and ITCHY. really had to sit on my hands to keep from scratching. I just bit the bullet. My dr said no doubt a reaction to Derma Bond. Am now two weeks post op today barely notice it. some irritation around my bellybutton, but overall all good.
Keep well!
