Rash?

For the last week I've been itching ALOT on my stomach and under my upper arms. My 3 incisions are basically healed and look really well! I'm not dehydrated and I just don't know what it is! And this morning I woke up and was itching and looked at my stomach and it has small tiny bumps where I've been itching?!? I don't know what to think

Happens to a lot of people. I started developing a rash I think it was almost a week out. My surgeon said sometimes people get a reaction to the adhesives and stuff they put on your stomach (contact dermatitis). I was told to take some Benadyl, which did help.

I had the same thing and heard of others as well. I think sometimes it can be from the anesthesia.

Thank goodness! I thought I was going crazy! I am so itchy in the same places and have these bumps too! They go away right? I am 3 weeks out.

Yes it goes away but I have to tell you I still itch there and it feels soooooooo good to itch it lol

I'm 5 weeks out and have developed a three inch itchy spot just below my hairline on the back of my neck & two spots the size of dimes between my breasts in the bra band area. It's driving me crazy. I've gotten hives from supplements several years ago and wondering if this could be the problem.

I am drinking the premier protein from Costco. I have not thought about that. I so hope not bc they are the only thing I like!
