Is an allergic or heat-rash-type itching on my neck and under my chin normal after a face and neck lift?

hi_cat
I am two weeks post op and healing well. However, I have developed a rash with small red bumps that itch like crazy along my neck and under my chin. Not sure how to treat this (ice, heat, allergy cream) and wondered if this is a normal healing reaction from the skin being stretched or something entirely different.
