Mine looked very much like yours and itched crazy. Try not to itch the area. If not any better or gets worse call the dr. Mine stopped after a while.

You could possibly be allergic to the tape/bandage. I was banded on the 21st and do not have a rash. I think I'd also contact my doctor.

That is exactly how mine looks right now. Rashy and oh so itchy!!

Mine isn't red around the incision, but it does itch! :(

Oooooo it kind of looks like mine did. it turned out I was allergic to the steri-strips they use to close the incisions. They are supposed to slowly dissolve off but with each shower I was dissolving the glue I was so allergic to all over the rest of my abdomen. My torso was a red rash mess by day 6.

Bennedryl and cortisone cream helped but it wasn't until my doc took off the steri strips did the rash stop. Call your doc in the morning.

Good luck
