redness and itchy

[sunsett 2]

Ok I'm going to go crazy. I have reddness and bumps around my large insision!

I have few few more of those redbumps in other places. I'm sending DH to the store to get me benadryl and hopefully that will take care of it.

Did any of you put anything on your insision to prevent infection? I'm thinking of neosurim or something like that.:omg:

Other than that I'm just using tylenol. Crushed darvaset is horrible!

Well I think it's :notagree time for a bit.

To prevent infection you can use a Triple Antibiotic (sold in most drug stores and food stores)... make sure it says triple.

I got very red and ichy around one of my incisions as well.

Dianne, did you doc replace and move your port? I know you said you had some type of allergic reaction in the hospital, is this the same rash? Keep a close eye on it and be ready to call your doc. You do NOT want a port infection. When's you next follow up appointment?

It could be a reaction to the tape or the betadine. I had henious sores after my csection.

Dianne, I hope this gets better soon. I agree with Kim, if it doesn't improve, you may want to get it looked at? Hang in there lady, and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

The rash is around the port. I also have bumps behind my ear on my arm and leg. DH just got the benedryl so I'm gonna take it and see. I think I'm gonna call a friend in the neighborhood who is a nurse and see what she thinks.

I'll keep you posted thanks.

Hope you feel better soon....I remember having a reaction to something also. That is when I thought my port was infected lucky for me it was nothing but nerves. Hang in there...and keep us posted.

Don't know if you know yet...I start work w/ Dr. V on the 15th. :scared: :bounce: I am so excited!!!!

There are times when skin touches skin and produces this redness and swelling. It's pretty common and very irritating and honestly is caused by yeast. Lamisil works wonders at getting rid of it permanently. You might want to give it a try. It is great stuff. You can buy it generically, but actually the real thing is much better. Hope you feel better. I always have it on hand.

I gave him a call today and told him what was going on. He said it was most likely the same allergic reaction I had in the hospital. He told me to not cover it up unless it stars to ozz and to was it. It may be a reaction to the glue they use or the morfine or antibiatic.

I swear it is spreading.

Kim I'm so excited for you..and us!!! That is great news!

Hi,

I can't read much today just wanted to fill ya'll in.

Went to Dr. V and he seemed suprised to see how bad the rashes are. He gave me RX for perdisone which 4 drugs stores didn't have lucky me. I am ging out of my MIND!

He said it wouldn't be the glue because the other insisions have nothing by them.

So I'm doubling up on the benadryl..which doesn't do a bit of good so far, and taking zanax and pain meds. So hopefully I will get the steriods early tomorrow. Please pray that I get relief SOON!!! I really can't take it!

thanks, night night

I think you mean prednisone which is a steroid and will clear it up. I suggested to you before to try Lamisil, which is very effective for these type of rashes and can be purchased over the counter. Xanax is an anxiety reliever, but isn't going to help the itch. Please think about some Lamisil while you are waiting to get the prednisone filled. Good Luck.

I agree...this is good advice Dianne...all of it! Well done Dody.

Thanks,

Dr V said that I can use creme for the rashes not near the insisions. The zanax is to calm my nerves at night so I can sleep. Speaking of which nap time....
