A. Stoot 85 Posted September 27, 2014 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???

MaryE 27 Posted September 27, 2014 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.

Introvert 53 Posted September 27, 2014 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heathcliff2903 1 Posted November 14, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 14, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted November 14, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
