Skin blemishes or small pimples post-op?



Recommended Posts

Had RNY done late October, and about a month ago I noticed that I was getting what I could best describe as a rash around my mouth. It's generally red, but doesn't itch. I will also get random white head type of pimples around the same area. I seem to get them throughout the day, including at work which is a little embarrassing. Severity seems to vary - some days are better than others.

Anyone else have this issue? If so, were you able to resolve through medicine/diet/other?

Thanks!

I developed pimples on my back and shoulders awhile after post-surgery. My dermatologist looked at them and said they were nothing to worry about. They went away within about two months and never returned.

Same thing happened to me and i was breaking out like crazy. I was told its my body detoxing and that it would eventually clear up. Im happy to say it did clear up and my skin is much better than it was pre-op

About a month after surgery, I began getting small whiteheads and larger, raised acne on my temples and jawline. I changed my skincare line to one that fights acne, and it's gotten a lot better.
