Surgery on Jan 14,2014. Noticed Dermatits starting around day 7 post op...I think..I am now 16 days post and it has spread down my ribs, abdomen, under my breasts, and now on top of my right breast. Using hydrocortisone cream 1% daily and Bacitracin ointment daily. It still itches horribly. Is there anything else you would recommend?

Answer: Dermatitis after breast augmentation 7 days postop rash is not usually as the result of what was applied to your body during surgery but most likely what has been applied since. The rash is more or less localized so a general systemic cause is unlikely. Though unrelated your photos show two distinct incisions but your periareolar one seems newer. So the rash around the inframammary scar is curious if indeed not new. You mentioned Bacitracin which usually does not cause a rash but Neosporin (in case you are using that) can. Also what you are wearing or the bras may be the cause. Last, but however unlikely, the culprit could be your implants themselves. Check with your surgeons who is the best judge of your case.
