RASHES

[A. Stoot 85]

Anyone break out with a rash... for some reason I have a rash on the back side of my arm down to my side. Now I am not allergic to anything to my knowledge and my boyfriend says it maybe from the stress of the surgery. Anyone out there had this happen before???

The day after my surgery I noticed a rash on my face neck and started to spread to my arms. I was allergic to the pain medication and had to discontinue and take Benadryl. Don't ignore the rash ask dr about it. Could be a drug allergy and could only get worse. Good luck on your journey.

thanks, and yes I am keeping an eye on it. Seems like it came right when I started taking my Vitamins but I have taken these before, just not as many milligrams.

Yes. I broke out bad on my neck and chest. It was from the medicine they prescribed to prevent gall stones with sudden weight loss, ursodial. Hope you find the reason soon...

The dr said for me to hydrate and take fish oil to help with the dry rashy skin . And use lotion . Said it would go away as you get more Water in me and eat fish and take fish oil .

I had a rash all down my right side and around my incisions, doctor said it was likely an allergic reaction and they gave me an ointment...

Hi, I am 3.5 months postoperative of the Gastric sleeve. I keep getting incredibly itchy rashes sometimes on arms and legs. Yesterday, all over my left leg and some on my right leg. My legs look like someone could read Braille by them!

that was the same for me, it was the Calcium intake, I had to take a smaller dosage and they started to go away

I am allergic to latex. My hospital uses non latex band aides and gloves, however what people fail to realize is there is a tiny bit of latex in the glue used in the tape so ever though the bandage part was safe the glue wasn't. I got a rash everywhere they had taped a bandage to me. Since they couldn't get a vein for my IV they went into my jugular vein on my neck. My entire shoulder was one big rash. The doctor told me to use hydro-cortisone cream until it went away.

Check with your doctor that there isn't anything in your Vitamins or supplements causing the rash. Use a topical hydro-cortisone cream for the itching.

I did not lose hair, but my surgical stress came out as dry skin and brittle fingernails. This lasted from months 2-5. I took extra Biotin and Gelatin, plus exfloliated with each shower, then used moisturizing lotion all over.
