Could this be an allergic reaction to something? (photos)

Asked By:natlynn in Tulsa, OK

I'm 6 days post op.. Incisions have itched terribly since day one. I've taken benedryl but it hasn't relieved the itching very much. I thought maybe it was the bra rubbing the incisions but after seeing the small red spots I think there's more going on. What can I do to relieve the itching? It keeps me awake at night even!
