I had an allergic reaction from steri strips after my port for chemo was put in. strips are removed, but there are still blisters. what should i do?

Steristrip blisters: The blisters on your skin are a protective reaction of your body to the foreign substance encountered and are helping to prevent further injury to irritated tissue beneath them. Please protect the area from further irritation but nothing further is needed for now as the reaction seems localized to just the area affected by the steristrips.

Treat It Topically: Most likely you have a contact dermatitis from the adhesive used on the steri-strips. If the would is healed, you can apply a mild cortisone cream, if the wound is not healed call your doctor. Once you are well from this episode, patch testing can be done to confirm what chemical caused the reaction.
