What Causes Redness And Irritation Near Tummy After Hernia Surgery?

I had surgery for a belly button hernia 10 days ago...The incision is healing fine and is not infected but the tummy area below the incision is red and itchy like an irritation. My doctor said to take Benadryl....2- 25 mg. tablets a day........Could the irritation be an allergy to the tape???
