Back acne from compression garments full tummy tuck and breast augmentation - Can they be related?

January 17, 2019
Asked By:logankk1 in Ohio, OH

I had a full tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lift 4 weeks and some days ago. I’m still wearing my compression garments. I’m getting back acne along my spine! I wash my garmets once a week. I’m still sleeping sitting up or laying down on the couch, I’ve only been sleeping on my back. Could that be it? Is this normal? Has any doctor heard of this before? I’ve never had back acne in my life! There’s like a cluster of them. The compression bra is giving me seriously itchy skin on my sides too.
