Anyone get a rash after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post-up and in the past 3 days a strange rash on my stomach, sides and back has gotten worse. It is small little red bumps that itch like crazy. Seems like an allergic reaction to something. Antibiotics, anesthesia, toxins? Anyone else have this issue?

I didn't get any bumps or itching, but I do have 5 or 6 finger tip size red splotches on my chest and neck. They appeared sometime in the 1st year post-op. They aren't painful or itchy, but they won't go away either.

Yes - i got the rash too. They told me that it was caused by glue that the surgeon uses in addition to stitches. It went away in a few days to a week. It was maddening in the meantime though.

Two of the three band-aids that the hospital left over my smaller incisions blistered up. I had to cover them with non-stick gauze bandages to keep from popping them.

I had a rash on my belly that about drive me insane. I tried several things and finally got relief by washing with Dial soap and putting an anti fungal cream on it. Good luck.
