April 30, 2009 I underwent a laproscopic cholecystectomy. Uneventful post-op course other than a bout of hives on the abdomen and redness and itching around the incision sites. I am now almost 4 weeks post-op and am still experiencing redness and itching around the incisions. The generalized hives are gone. I have had a ten day regimen of antihistamines and Clobetesol salve. Currently, I am using only the Clobetesol once a day. Does anyone have any experience with Vicryl suture allergies? I should add that the incisions themselves are raised and feel hard. So far, the incisions are clean and have had no drainage or sutures popping through.
