How far out are you? I developed a rash a few days post op that started on my belly and spread to my back, thighs, and arms. The itching drove me crazy! Docs finally figured out it was an allergic reaction to something surgery-related but never figured out what. I went through a few prescription creams, none of which worked and one made it worse. I ended up using Benedryl - it was the only thing that helped. I took Benedryl liquid (children's) and used Benedryl cream. They controlled the itching. After 2 1/2 weeks it started to fade away. Strange...

Omg it was all over my body, even my scalp. I think it was cause by a sweater that was sitting in my drawer for so long n i wore it to go to the store n while i was wearing it i began to get itchy everywhere. So like at midnight i received a call from my dr authorizing benadryl n ro go see him later on the day.

What a nightmare. You probably want to use gloves and tongs to get that sweater to the trash! Hope you're feeling better soon!

I hope the Benedryl helps. It should. :-)
