September 23, 201213 yr Author I'm 2 days post op and noticed the rash down both of my sides this morning. Its itchy but i put some benadryl cream on it and all is well. It seems like its where my skin touches itself. Under breast and sides of stomach. But then its on my stomach as well. I used clear calamine lotion but I'm still feeling yucky.
September 23, 201213 yr It seems like its where my skin touches itself. Under breast and sides of stomach. But then its on my stomach as well. I used clear calamine lotion but I'm still feeling yucky. I think Monday morning you should call your Drs. office. If it was right after surgery, I would think it was an allergic reaction to Betadine, but if it's been awhile since surgery I'm not sure. I really don't think Calamine lotion will help, maybe Cortinsone 10 lotion an antihestimine (sp?). IMO
September 23, 201213 yr Author Yeah I'm gonna call its gotten worse. I thought maybe it was from me using the surgery soap and it dried my skin out. I used it after also since I still had some. But even so it would be all over.
September 23, 201213 yr Could be from the soap. It doesn't necessarily have to effect the whole body. I know this b/c I'm the Queen of sensitive skin. could be from the soap
September 23, 201213 yr Author I didn't use any the last two days and its gotten worse. My skin is really sensitive too. But never reacted like this. I was using vaseline to try soothe myself. It's not a dry skin issue. I dunno. But I'm going to be a cry baby on Monday when I call doc. Lol. It almost feels like my face is about to start...wahhh.
September 23, 201213 yr being a little itchy is good it's a sign of healing but you could also be having a reaction. i took an allergy medication after my surgery and it took care of the itch

Oddly enough I'm itching away from the incisions. Lol. I'm sure when I wake up and still going through this I will try benadryl.

September 23, 201213 yr I don't understand why your post keep changing from Rebirth to Nomorebigbaby and sometimes both at the same time. How you doing that?
