I developed hives all over my body one week after surgery. Mini tuck, lipo, and saline implants. Any suggestions? (photo)

December 31, 2014
Asked By:Wdpo in Lufkin, TX

I have now had them for 3 weeks. Have been off any and all medication for three weeks. I feel my surgeon is uncertain of the cause. I'm welting from scalp to toes. Throughout the day. I am using lotions and antihistamines but not really a lot of relief. I'm so scared I'm going to have to deal with this from now on. Any input to the possible cause of this? I have never had an allergic reaction to anything.
