Skin blemishes or small pimples post-op?

Had RNY done late October, and about a month ago I noticed that I was getting what I could best describe as a rash around my mouth. It's generally red, but doesn't itch. I will also get random white head type of pimples around the same area. I seem to get them throughout the day, including at work which is a little embarrassing. Severity seems to vary - some days are better than others.

Anyone else have this issue? If so, were you able to resolve through medicine/diet/other?

Thanks!

I developed pimples on my back and shoulders awhile after post-surgery. My dermatologist looked at them and said they were nothing to worry about. They went away within about two months and never returned.

About a month after surgery, I began getting small whiteheads and larger, raised acne on my temples and jawline. I changed my skincare line to one that fights acne, and it's gotten a lot better.
