So, I'm 2 months post-op and have a rash on my abdomen and the side of my breasts. It isn't where any of my skin overlaps, so I don't think it's that. I've tried cortizone and nystatin (a powder for fungal infections my doc gave me a while back when I had bad heat rash). No help. Anyone else have this post-op? Any suggestions?

This happened to me as well, it DROVE ME NUTS! Nystatin cream worked better for me than the powder, but it didn’t make it go away entirely. Eventually (like a month or two later) it did go away.

Mine showed up about one week after surgery and started to fade away probably around the 2-2.5 month mark. Sorry not to be more helpful!

So what DID cause it? Could it have been a reaction to the anesthesia, temporary hormone unbalance as you started to lose weigh Now you ladies have aroused my curiosity, does anyone have a theory? Trying to remember if I had it also ? ??

Thanks - I'll try to get some nystatin cream.

It is similar to a keto rash and it's caused by extremely low carb diet

Thanks - just looked this up - it is pretty much what it looks like. Thank you!

If nystatin does work on it, that means it's fungal at least somewhat but I can also see⬇carbs could affect it too!
