After my surgery this rash started. My surgeon took me off my antibiotic on day 6( 2 days ago). I saw my primary care yesterday and he gave me Prednisone to take which I started yesterday and completed 2 doses. I'm no better today. I was awake all night, itching and icing. My surgeon is out of state and has not called me back :/ Is Prednisone and icing these places that have had liposuction for fat transfer done, safe? Strangely, most of these bumps are on areas not covered by compression?!
