Three days post implant removal. I removed under local and haven’t taken any pain meds. Day 2 I removed bandage and put on sports bra but noticed pink rash (super itchy) went to urgent care and they said contact dermatitis from bra or surgery prep solution. Taken Benadryl but no real improvement. Any ideas ?

Answer: Rash Thank you for the question and photos. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you however from reviewing your photos you may have reaction to the steri strips. It is best to have an examination by your board certified plastic surgeon. Topical or oral steroids may help. Good luck.

Answer: Day 2 I removed bandage and put on sports bra but noticed pink rash (super itchy) - When will this resolve? (photo) An allergic reaction after breast implant removal may be due to steri-strips, latex in the garment, antibiotic ointment, or any number of things. If there is no infection, oral or topical steroids can be offered. A comfortable t-shirt or the like worn underneath the sports bra usually tends to help with irritation and comfort.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
