lisalisa21 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I am three weeks post op and have developed a rash on my chest in the past 4-5 days and I can't figure out what it could be from. Haven't change shampoo, detergent or anything else. I read somewhere that others have had this reaction to the betadine used at the time of surgery but it developed shortly after, like 2-3 days post op. Other than it itching, I feel good..don't feel sick or have any pain elsewhere. I will be contacting my doctor just thought maybe someone else has experienced something similar.

lna228 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm glad that you shared your story. I had a similar story, I broke out in a rash on both sides of my abdomen. This was exactly 2 weeks post-op. I am a nurse practitioner so I don't think it could be related to the surgery but I too could not find a reason for the rash. Maybe it was too may liquids Ha! Ha! I took some benadryl and applied hydrocortisone cream and it went away. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolek Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi I had the same thing around the incision sites, however I suffer with ezcema and put the rash down to that. I put mild hydrocortisone cream on it and it went away after a few days. Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
