blister to cutting it away have not had any infection issues have also used

Tinc Benz no real difference either way that I have noted (21 years

Mine came from the tape the nurse in OR put on to hold my bandages

over the incision, not from the steristrips. When Dr K & Bae came in

the next day to see their handiwork and removed the bandages, I was

one big blister under them, all the way around the incision. When

asked if I knew I was allergic to tape, I said yes, it is on all my

charts...Dr K was furious and I know someone got it later. But the

deed was done. The nurses then put the bandages back with paper

tape...but on all the blisters. Even paper tape tears blisters! Try

walking with the bandages hanging on by tape on blisters you already

have..ouch...that is what caused my passing out in the shower. Mike

had to take the bandages off so I could shower and they bled. I

didnt put anything back on them after that. Just ointment with pain

killer in it.

Your pain is from the blisters pulling...ouch!!!

Well, I am such a freakin' dumb ass I didn't realize I even had

blisters for days! Now there are open bleeding sores, but no

blisters. I totally missed the occurance of the blisters until they

were crusted under the steri strips. I kept calling them blisters

but they are really open weeping sores. Wow! The good news is that

my tummy skin isn't numb, huh? LOL!

I wish.

who tolerated the actual tape just fine.

Yep, thats what happened to me when they took the tape off, it tore

the tops off the blisters and made them sores, that left the scarring

on my legs and tummy that look like bruises....

I have also heard of ulcers on the genitals. As a matter of fact, both

times we were at the NIH we've been asked if Mason has ever had ulcers on

his genitals. Thankfully, he never has as I would imagine that would hurt

immensely. So maybe the blisters are in fact ulcers? I think I'd take

her in to be checked by a Doctor to find out for sure what it is down

there. That way you'd know for sure.

I recall an adult on the HIDS/TRAPS message commenting that she suffers

from ulcers in that area.

My feet are all swollen (edema) and have blisters on them. Any idea? Could it be from those blood clot boots we wear in the hospital? I'm even starting to get some bumps up my shins. They also itch terribly so my other thought is an allergice reaction.
