I've developed an extreme rash on my body after breast augmentation, what could be the cause? (Photos)

December 4, 2017
Asked By:jac.k in Ontario, CA

I am now Day 5 post op, on day three I woke up at around two in the morning with an extreme rash all over my legs, stomach, under my breasts, and back. I contacted my surgeon and they told me to stop taking my meds. So I did, here we are now on day 5 and the rash hasn’t started to go away yet. I’m going crazy, I can’t sleep, I’m scratching myself raw. I have taken benedryl and Claritin, neither help. Also yesterday I have started having diarrhea.
