Rash post op

[Emacc08]

Hi all, I am 5 days post op. I noticed a small rash on my abdomen the night I was discharged and thought a heat rash or some sort thanks to the hospital bed. However it has worsened. I have contacted my drs office but it’s not emergent so I’m not expected to hear back. Benadryl and hydrocortisone isn’t doing anything for me. Just wondering if one else has experienced anything similar? It has now spread throughout my torso and itches here and there.

I would certainly call again during business hours and try to get in.

I am late in replying, so looking for an update. How is it now?

I completely forgot to update. They told me it was more than likely the “prep” they used before surgery . It is slowly going away on its own. Just annoying at times!

Wow! Glad to hear it is going away.

I have the exact same thing called my Dr and sent pictures to Dr. Waiting to hear back from them and the itchy is very annoying

I did speak to the dr office and the Dr didn't seem to concerned about it and i still have it it has gone away some but not sure what pill you may be taking now but the office suggested stopping all until mine went away.. I didn't really want to do that only cause of the importance of them so what I've done is still taking my D3 my multivitamin and that's it I removed the probiotic that they had given me because I did do some research and it looked like that could cause a rash so I might need to see if it's still going to go away without the probiotic and then start it again if to see if the probiotic was the problem or not I guess
