So the oozing has finally slowed down, but the itching and hurting is still there. I tried hydrocortisone cream on the area around the incision and bacitracin on the incision, as directed by the nurse. Broke out more from the hydrocortisone. I called the dr yesterday and they wanted me to come in. Dr said everything looks ok, surgically, and it is definitely an allergic reaction to the liquid adhesive they used in surgery (mastisol is the name of it). Dr suggested using benadryl cream where I was using the hydrocortisone, as well as taking oral benadryl. Tried that last night and damn if I didn't break out more from that. I only slept about 1 1/2 hours last night because the itching and burning. There are raw looking spots on two of the sites.

Yesterday I started getting burning, shooting pains in the area of the front incision...I hope and pray these aren't RSD pains.

I just want this to be over with!
