roxannez 27 Posted February 5, 2013 I was sleeved on Jan 30th and just last night I noticed a horribly itchy rash on my inner thighs and neck, no where near my incisions or the surgical tape. Is this a common thing - did it happen do any of you? How did you treat it? Everything else is going so swimmingly, but this rash business is completely bizarre. I plan on taking a half dose of benedryl before I go to sleep tonight and slathering on some hydrocortisone cream, but if anyone else has better ideas, please share!

vogue 310 Posted February 5, 2013 I had it...turns out it was a reaction to the blood thinner ( Lovenox) they gave in the hospital... took a couple of weeks for mine to go away.... I actually went to my allergist and he said it was too soon aftyer surgery to take prednisone but OK'd liquid benadryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxannez 27 Posted February 5, 2013 Fascinating, I never even considered it to be a drug reaction. I did have Lovanox injected into my belly. Yikes on it taking a few weeks to go away though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deanne 22 Posted February 5, 2013 I've been itchy too but have been keeping lotion on. I've also got a rash around the bandaids, guess from the adhesive but have put some cream on that and try to keep them exposed to the air as much as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
