Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Allergic reaction can be caused by almost anything.
A substance causing reaction in one patient may not cause any reaction in others.
If you are suspecting dermabond it may be the causative agent.
Keep applying some mild steroid cream,
This will provide you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
