Rash after tape removed from Breast Reduction surgery. Any suggestions? (photos)

Thank you for your question.It may take a couple days for the cortisone to start working, it wont be an immediate response.  Also, you may try some Benadryl to help with the itching.  I would also remove the rest of the steri strips, so that there is anything left to cause more irritation.  Good luck with recovery.

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided images and information. I suggest you to visit your doctor for a follow up appt, you're maybe having an irritation which is normal

I think that following your doctor's advice is probably sound.  It is difficult to say from just one picture. 

It looks like an allergic reaction to the specific tape/bandage material that was used. Is it visible only on one breast or both?The main reason to see your surgeon is to exclude a possible infection, but otherwise the rash will improve by itself once the offending tape has been removed.

The rash can be due to an allergic reaction to the tape.  Topical cortisone cream is the usual treatment.  You should see your surgeon to have the area looked at before you self medicate.

Best suggestion is to see or call your operative surgeon for Rx to treat this tape induced allergic rash..............
