Has anyone had a rash all over since their surgery?

I have not changed laundry detergent or anything, but since my surgery April 30th, I have a rash. It is all over my legs, arms and stomach. It is driving me nuts. Has anyone else had this happen? Need to go see dr, but just curious.

I didn't all over but I noticed a bit of one by my glue (on top of the stiches-Im thinking since its the same doc you have the same wounds)

It sounds like a allergic reaction-are you taking any of the meds still that you were not taking before? What about Protein Drinks have you switched those? Call Wilkenfeld and ask what they think of course... I've called multiple times with ridiculous questions but they have been super helpful

Someone else posted recently, who also had a rash. It turned out to be from the whey in the protein drinks. She switched to egg white protein, but I haven't seen her post the outcome.

I had a very itchy rash with bright red dots all over my stomach, side, and lower breast area. I talked to my doctor about it and he said its most likely due to the anticeptic solution they used right before surgery.

I used a hydro cortizone cream for about a week and it went away.

I have a rash also! I think it's from the iodine they put on my stomach before the surgery. I have an appointment tomorrow and will find out more.
