A member asked:
I had a abdominal surgery and have steri strips theyve been on for almost three weeks and they are starting to itch is this sign of a infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
generally ster-strips are removed a lot sooner. It is from irritation from the strips. Infection would cause redness and swelling. Pl. check with your surgeon as to removal of the strips. Keep the area of strips clean with alcohol wipes.
