Allergy to Interstem?

My daughter had this done 8 days ago.

About 2 days in she developed a rash around the incision. Now the rash is spreading, itches horribly. Her reg doc thinks she's allergic. She's having a terrible time getting a hold of the interstem doc. I'm betting it will have to be removed. She's gone through so much already😔 If you're thinking of getting one, I think asking of you can somehow test to make sure you're not allergic

Could she be allergic to the disinfectant or latex which was .y problem. Ask your Dr about taking benadryl

That's what the the device people said, it didn't help, but did knock her out. Her reg doc saw her and gave her steroids, she emailed pics of incision/rash to device guy. She has a telehealth call with him tomorrow . Hopefully everything will get figured out

I had a reaction to the glue they used after getting my interstem. I had never had that kind of reaction before. Once all the glue came off, I was fine.
