Hi everyone: Hoping someone has some thoughts on this. AC had posterior spinal surgery on 2/16 - almost 5 weeks post-op. Last week she started itching like crazy at site of steri-strips. (None had come off yet.) : I called advice nurse and she said go ahead and take them off - she could have a reaction to steri-strips or the spray they put under them. Well, she still has redness (like welts or hives) at each spot that the steri-strips were (about 15 in all) plus itching rash on sides. We've washed the area real well, have tried Neosporin and Benadryl. It's almost a week since she started complaining of the itching - not as bad it seems but still the rash and red marks. The incision itself looks pretty good and she feels good - no pain. Any thoughts????
Thanks!!
Melinda
