I would give the nurse a call or see your GP, the itching and redness could be an allrgery to the tape or a small scar infection, it’s key to catch these things early. I’ve used the micropore tape method both times and never had any issues x
Sarah, it’s micropore tape, you can get it in the chemist, if you keep it over you scars it stops the scars getting raised and lumpy, change every 4 days or so or any time it gets wet. Putting dressings on them isn’t advisable as you need to get air to them. Waterproof dressings are good to use when showering for the first few weeks but otherwise just tape is advised.
