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.

Answer: Is rash normal after a face/neck lift? It is not normal to have a rash after a face/neck lift but it can occur. I would say the most common reason for having a rash after the procedure would be from wearing a compression garment after the surgery. I'm not sure if you were asked to use one or not. It is also possible that you may have developed a rash from any topical agents that were used during your procedure. I would recommend contacting your surgeon to see what was used during your surgery to try and determine the cause of your rash and consequently, the treatment.

Answer: Itchiness after facelift Hello, Itchiness is normal in the healing process. Some cells (mastcells) which are involved in the healing process release histamine which causes itchiness. If you have a rash on your skin, that could be some irritation or allergic reaction. If the rash is only on the operated area but not anywhere else in your body, it could be due to any skin products, garments or dressings. Best check with your doctor.
