dawgsgirl68 9 Posted July 7, 2012 Hi, everybody! I am five days post op and I am feeling pretty good, except for a rash on my stomach.I have had surgeries before, but I have never broke out like that before. Any suggestions about what I can put on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephanie_l 1 Posted July 7, 2012 I broke out too. Thinking it was the large amount of betadine wash they use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PandorasBox92264 61 Posted July 7, 2012 I would try Aloe! If you have a plant grab that or just get the pure gel from the store. It is good for everything from burns, rashes, even chicken pox. My husband had a rash skin problem that he got on his legs. The various medications he got at the dermatologist didn't do much, I got fresh aloe cutting off from the plants in the yard, I cut off several pieces at a time putting them in the refrigerator to cool it down.. It finally cleared up the skin that reg medication creams didn't fix and hasn't come back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted July 7, 2012 I got a rash from the tape used during surgery. I used a topical over the counter cream to help that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kallets 29 Posted July 8, 2012 I had a severe allergic reaction to the tape. The doctors at the ER pulled the tape off and gave me cortisone cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
