Did anyone have a reaction to the surgical tape? I have a tape outline on me that is itchy as heck! ! It's driving me insane.

Don't scratch... you just aggravate the the scratch -itch cycle...the more you scratch the more histamines are released and you itch more!

use a little otc hydrocortisone cream instead... it will go away in time.

I get itchy reactions all the time from stuff. The best thing I can recommend is benadryl as it really works for me.

I usually use Benadryl but the suryp has to much sugar and the pills I wasn't sure would go down right after surgery

I had a reaction too.  Big blisters under one piece of tape and now my scar looks like an alien face!  I went to a walk in and the doctor took the tapes off and put some ointment on the blisters. Told me to keep it loosely covered with gauze and different tape and not to break the blisters.  They dried out eventually.
