I am 3 weeks post op and have developed a rash on my chest within the last five days that does not seem to be going away. Haven't changed shampoo or detergent or anything. Don't feel sick or anything just this annoying itchy rash.. Anyone experience something similar??

I did have something, it was a heat rash , i would contact your doc though to make sure its not something more serious.

When in doubt contact the doc that's what we paid them for .

I had a very itchy, horrible rash all over my belly and sides 1 week post op. I was given Benadryl, 50mg, which helped and knocked me out. I also used a lotion called Sarna to help with the itch. My doctor could not tell me why I had the rash. The rash lasted over a week, in fact I still have signs of it 3 weeks later, but the itch lasted only a few horrible days.

Its best to call the doc either way , Just becasuse someone else has had a rash does not mean its "Normal"
