VSG4Mag 106 Posted March 30, 2017 Has anyone developed a rash on their stomach post op? Ive had one since day 3. Not day 1 or 2. No fever. I called doc and they saw it at my post op appointment but just said to take benedryl. Its like a bunch of tiny little red bumps and it's itchy. 😫 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted March 30, 2017 I did, and it was on my cheeks too. I was on an antibiotic that I was allergic to I think. A few days after stopping the antibiotic, the rash got better. 1 VSG4Mag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted March 30, 2017 If it is only on your abdomen, it could be a reaction to the antiseptic they painted on. 1 VSG4Mag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSG4Mag 106 Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks. I was thinking the betedyne. It is lightly all over, but mainly concentrated to my flanks. When I got home I noticed the betedyne more concentrated on my sides, the PA said bc there is blood on your abdomen they wash you off a bit. That's why it looks like more in the sides. Its sooooo annoying. I have topical benedryl on it now and take a full dose of the pills before bed since they knock me out. Ive taken a shower every day since I got home (1 day after the surgery), I'm just surprised it's not subsiding by now. But if that's my biggest problem I guess it's not that bad. I'm back to work one week post op and hanging in there. It's actually easier to get my food & liquids in when I'm sitting at a desk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
