I had surgery on the 30th of January and have a rash on the back of my hands that developed a few days ago. At first I thought it was dry skin but now it looks like an allergic reaction to something. I feel it may be the nexium. Anybody else have the same issue? What was the cause?

I got a bad hive like rash on my stomach and legs right after the surgery. It lasted about a week. I took Benadryl and that helped with the itch. I call my doctors office a few times about it and they weren't very concerned, just said it would go away with time.

My hubby had this same thing happen with Percocet. It went away after a few days and of ourselves when he stopped the percocets.

The same thing happened to me, it was from the pain meds. I went to the dr and he told me he sees this occasionally and after stopping the pain meds it should go away- and it did!!

Me too! Rash on my belly and sides. Gone 4 days after surgery.

I had a rash too. It wasn't my meds. Because I have stayed on all of them and no rash. I did wear a binder around my torso - for the first week- I quit wearing it cuz i thought it might be causing me to have this itchy rash. The rash went away 2 days after that.

I had slight rash and itching also. Doc said when body is healing it produces histamines. Took Benadryl for two days and it went away.
