Has anyone developed allergies post-op?

[JohnGraySmiley 88]

Hi All, I'm 10 weeks post-op and this week I literally walked outside 4 days ago and the areas of my skin that were exposed (my face, forearms, and chest) immediately formed tiny itchy bumps. I've had several allergies since childhood and have taken Zyrtec daily once diagnosed.

From Googling it sounds like I might have a Sun Allergy which I don't think I have ever heard of before but, I noticed my sun exposed skin started to itch and form tiny bumps again yesterday.

Any ideas? Calling my primary care physician on Monday but trying to see if this is normal?

Are you taking any medications? Some meds react to sunlight that way. Reread any med info from your pharmacy and see if that's the culprit.

Went to pcp & notified surgeon's office. It appears to have been a sun sensitivity from the Ursodiol. My PCP gave me some prescription cream from the breakout and my surgeon's NP told me to stop the ursodiol as there is no substitution for this med.

Thanks. Feel much better now.

I got bumps on my neck, chest, and arms from my last surgery. They don't know why, kinda think it was a one dose antibiotic they gave me by IV in the OR.

I had hives, small red bumps. It looked rashy, so I called the dr. And he had me take Benedryl for a couple weeks.

I'd go get it checked though!
