I just had Hernia repair surgery.I have the Exact Symptoms,you describe.Rash and Itch around my Belly and thighs,that's just not going away.I also had to go to the ER.I just feel so helpless.I did see a dermatologist and was prescribed a cream and steroids.It has helped some,but I still itch and I still have a rash.I just hope that it will go away.It is comforting to know I am not alone.I have scars that now have replaced,the red itchy bumps.One more thing to worry about.

Hi guys..I actually havent had a lapband but was online searching " itchy red rash after surgery" and it linked me here to your website. I have read what you guys have written and it sounds exactly like what I have been experiencing since day three of my hernia repair surgery. I have had it break out twice now..the first time I went to the ER it was so bad and surprisingly they gave me a pepcid AC tablet. They said it was a histamine blocker and worked faster and better than benedryl. They sent me home taking 1 clariton (over the counter medicine) and two pepcid AC tabs(aolso over the counter) a day. Within a few minutes of taking the dose in the ER the I could see the bumps going away. I stopped taking it this past Tuesday( two weeks post op) and three days later I have it all over my thighs, stomach, chest, and arms again I have just restarted the clariton and pepcid. Hope maybe those meds will help someone I TOTALLY know how frustrating this is! Angel
