Is my compression garment causing my pubic area to break out?

afzoom234May 16, 2014
I had liposuction on inner thigh, abdomen, and flanks and a Brazilian butt lift about two weeks ago. However, my garment is rubbing the skin around pubic area and it is causing the skin to peel off as well as a discoloration and mulitiple bumps. I was told to use hydrocortisone by the nurse but it does not seem to be any improvement? Any other advice

Tanning is not harmful to the fat grafts or the areas of liposuction.  Tanning is overall a poor habit for good skin health and more specifically it can darken the small fat grafting and liposuction incisions.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD,DDS, FACS
