Rash On Belly

[goalseeker 695]

Hi all, I'm 5 day post op and have an itchy rash on my stomach. I'm thinking it might be from the heat and wearing the binder. Anyone else have this? I put some Benadryl cream on it yesterday carefully avoiding the sutures which helped a little.

I posted a thread called infection at the port site... Not sure if this may be what you have but it's good to read just to make sure.

I had a rash around the big incision , it itched so bad . My doc said it was from the stitches and to use benadryl cream . When they took the stitches out the rash went away about a week or so later .
