Skin changes ???? rashes and pimples ????

I broke out in a rash on my neck and both sides of my torso. One large rash and one small on torso and small patch on neck. I also broke on with pimples !! Gross things are going on !! I did go to my PCP yesterday and he ruled out shingles & thinks it's irritation of some sort. He prescribed at topical lotion and I see him again on Thursday to follow up. Anyone else have odd skin issues ?

I did for the first 6 months post-op. Not the rash so much but the break outs, absolutely. That and my face just looked, "sunken". They say you release a lot of toxins\hormones with rapid fat loss so maybe that has something to do with the break outs. The sunkenness in my face improved as well over time. Probably partly natural reaction to rapid weight loss, me learning to better hydrate myself and eat better along with I had to get used to my new look. Things "re-arranged"some after the first year in maintenance.
