I had Breast augmentation in January and I went for my 3 month follow up in March and everything was well. For the past couple months (2-3) I have been getting hives and rashes along the incision line. I haven't changed any soaps I don't wear perfume and I haven't changed laundry detergent was wondering if I need to see a dr and should I see my gen practice dr or the surgeon It comes and goes Benadryl helps it doesn't happen everyday but at least 1 time every week sometimes more
