Petechial Rash on belly and neck 4 days post surgery. (photo)

July 15, 2014
Asked By:Journey144 in Alabama, AL

I took 1/2 of my regular norco prescription (10/325) last night to help get to sleep. It was the only pain med I took all day. Shortly after, I noticed a pin prick type rash on my belly. This morning it's on my neck. It doesn't itch. Could this be a side effect of the norco? Or something that just happens after surgery? This is the first time I've ever had major surgery.
