A member asked:
Allergic reaction to steri strips, what to clean wounds with?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: First, you should make your surgeon aware of this problem. He or she may suggest nothing at all but could also possibly suggest saline wound wash, cetaphil, or other over-the-counter products to clean the wound.
