Post sleeve skin issues

[Pietzsapie 14]

As anyone dealt with exema type skin issues since having the surgery?

Yes!!! I was sleeved on June 30 and I have most 30 pounds...I have started itching like crazy and have the same eczema looking rash on certain spots of my body. I have no clue why. I know sometimes when you gain/loose weight rather fast and your skin stretches or shrinks it can cause your skin to itch. I don't know what to do or put on it?

I had a rash in my first month or two. I just put anti itch cream and made sure not to scratch. It lasted like 3 weeks.

Mine is on my face. I did a little research on some types of dermatitis. Apparently weight loss is a common trigger of several types of dermatitis. Mine is so frustrating and itchy I'm considering seeing a dermatologist. Putting make up on makes my face look scaly but no make up looks worse. I really hope it goes away.

I'm only 4 days out of surgery and my incisions are itching like crazy.

I had same thing, like poison Ivy, red, bumpy and itched like crazy. I had to use anti-itch creme and wait it out. Turns out some of us become allergic to the adhesive they use to help seal our incisions. This was the worst part of early recovery because it was so constant and would wake me up in the night. I stayed on pain killers an extra week to get through it.

Yes, I had an itchy rash that started on my right arm near my shoulder. Then it spread to my left shoulder and back. I had to go to the dermatologist who said it could have been an allergic reaction to the anesthesia. They gave me a cream which has worked but at 3 months post op I still have 1 little bump on my right arm where the rash initially started. I will address this with my dermatologist at my next appointment. I hope all goes well for you.
