Horrible itching, burning, swelling, and oozing on my face and arm for the past week after Mastisol was applied to hold adhesive strips over incisions following surgery for skin cancer on my face and forearm. This product is like napalm. It should be taken off the market.

Violent allergic reaction after breast surgery which created rash over most of my body, burning itching, and even with steroids etc took 6 weeks to recover from. Allergist test to confirm what I reacted from caused a similar (not quite as violent due to her using a very small amount) explosion of rash, oozing and misery over arms, back, chest.

I just had SI joint fusion ON 5/31/1. Underneath the bandage it was itching so badly, but I assumed it was from the healing. Removal of the bandage at my first post op appointment one week later was a 4 x 4 patch of red, swollen,blistering and oozing area. It had swelled so much it pulled the wound apart. I've had many surgeries in my lifetime and have NEVER had a reaction like this! The pai ... Show Full Comment

Removal of the bandage at my first post op appointment one week later was a 4 x 4 patch of red, swollen,blistering and oozing area. It had swelled so much it pulled the wound apart. I've had many surgeries in my lifetime and have NEVER had a reaction like this! The pain was excruciating! For 10 days I had yo sit around with nothing on my bottom so it could dry out and took a course of antibiotics. I'm just slightly over 3 weeks post-op and the itching has finally gotten better. Now, Just hoping the scar fades as will the lumpy incision line from where it was pulled apart. Someone needs to get this product off the market now, it's a horrible product! M. VICE

Had severe reaction to Mastisol liquid following a surgery. The skin where it was used became covered in weeping blisters., intense itching, couldn't sleep, spent most of my days applying/taking meds, using cold packs etc. Felt miserable. That stuff should be tested on every patient before applying during a surgery! !

This was applied as a base for the steri strips put on my knee incision after total knee replacement. The area where the masticol was applied was fine at first, turned into a bright red raised rash that was very itchy. Very itchy!

The area where the masticol was applied was fine at first, turned into a bright red raised rash that was very itchy. Very itchy! A Cold, wet washcloth was the best relief because it stopped the itching immediately. I also applied a cortisome cream (over the counter) and that helped some. I took Benadryl to help. Finally, on day 4, the rash is going away. I never had the oozing described by other people but the bumpy rash was quite obviously in all the areas that had contact with the masticol but then spread out a bit
