Rash on sides 1st week after surgery

Hello. I was released from the hospital 1 day after surgery. All went really well. No issues. Then I noticed a little itching a couple days after surgery and assumed it was just dry skin from not drinking Water like I normally do. Didn't really look at it, just put some eucerin lotion on it. Now 5 days out from surgery and I have a rash of tiny red bumps all over both sides. Has anyone had this happen? Its not hives....I've had those. They are usually big welts that come and go. These are small red bumps, kind of like a heat rash. Super itchy.

I got this too, on my abdomen! At first I thought it was just from the steri strips. I ended up with tiny red, horribly itchy, bumps all over my stomach and sides. I think it may be from yeast, so I started using some lotromin, and it's helped a lot. I just started using today, but already the itching and red spots are better!

Well. I read some old stuff on line about these type of bumps and they may be an allergic reaction to the anesthesia or to the stuff they put on your stomach before they operate. So, I put some anti itch cream on them and took a Benadryl. They are 90% better. Very little itch now. Hoping they completely disappear by tomorrow!
