I agree, sounds like an allergic reaction. As long as you replace the steri-strips with something that accomplishes the same purpose, holding the wound edges together, it should be alright. Making your own steri-strips is fine. Just be sure there is enough tension. Place one side down, pull gently across the incision and secure on the other side. Call the office to report what's going on and what you are doing. There, you are now your own doctor!

Sounds like you are healing well and doing well too. Wonderful news. Keep it up, I'm rooting for ya!
