My surgeon said not to do anything to them. When you're in the shower, let the water run over them. Let the glue come off naturaly...it's take a few weeks for it to start coming off. It will itch some and that is normal. However, I had an allergic reaction to the glue...redness, swelling, & blisters, so the glue had to come off (6 days later) and medication applied to the rash. I had to be extra careful not to overdo, so my incisions could finish healing. This was with my gallbladder surgery back in June.
My glue started peeling off fairly quickly and then I started an allergic reaction to the glue. But I was told to not touch them, and not soak in water. But to just lightly wash; I use caress always, so no soap drying them out. If it comes off just make sure you aren't scratching the area. My scars are looking great, according to my surgeon at yesterdays appt.
