A member asked:
Had a lumpectomy 2 days ago now i'm burned badly from the surgical tape. what do you advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergic reaction: You are probably allergic to the tape's adhesive; it's a little early at day #2 to be an infection. Remove tape, cool compresses; if your surgeon okay's it & reaction is very severe, mild cortisone topically may settle this faster.
