I had a BA/TT on 1/10/18. My pain pump in my LT groin was leaking since POD1, and the dressing was loosened. POD5 my pain pump was removed, and a red rash was noted at the site. POD6 the rash spread down my thigh, buttocks and RT thigh. I was placed on Doxy. POD7 the rash is worse and dark areas of purple discoloration are noted. No fever, or pain, it is not warm. I am seeing my PS later today, but wanted additional opinions. Could this be Necrotizing?? No other meds since POD4.

Congratulations with your impressive weight loss! For optimal results it is recommended to be as close to your goal weight as possible and be able to maintain it. Since you are 25bls away I would advise you to wait until after you have accomplished your goal and then proceed with the tummy tuck.
It's difficult to suggest a specific treatment without an exam or more information. There are some medications that can be prescribed to help address the symptoms. I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation.
