post-surgery surrounding skin burning pain

I had inguinal hernia's mesh surgery 10 days ago and recently developed a strong burning pain on the skin surrounding the incision. Even the slightest touch is painful. I am allergic to latex but my dressing, removed 5 days ago, appeared latex-free, and I had my allergy clearly indicated to my surgeon. I had a similar burning skin pain 20 years ago after my diaphragmatic hernia repair, and managed to calm it by applying capsicum cream but do not want to risk it because my incision is still a bit wet. And suggestions?
