I've developed a rash on my Incisions and my legs 4 days ago, could this be related to my breast implants? (Photos)

Asked By:adunn11 in Kansas City, MO

I am one month post-op today. Silicone, under the muscle, inframammary incision. Four days ago, I noticed a crusty yellowish residue on my support bra as the scabs begun to come off. I wash my bras regularly and use gauze pads to keep the incisions dry during the day. In the last two days, I have had a terribly itchy rash around my incisions and random rashes on my legs (could be coincidental). My next appt with PS is in a week. Benadryl cream helps alleviate the itch, not the rash remains.
