I started to get a rash along the top of my chest and tops of my shoulders. I took pictures, stopped all meds and started to take Benadryl. I sent the pics to the doctors and asked for advise. Haven't heard back and its gotten worse. ARGGGG! And these pictures do not show the real look and feel....so irritated! They are little red and white pimples/bumps. They pop when squeezed.
Answer: What can I do for a rash day 7 post op of mommy makeover? I haven't heard back from my doctor (Photo) This could be an allergic reaction to some of your medications, antibacterial soap, or contact dermatitis among other culprits. Your approach to the issue is reasonable but you need to obtain approval from your PS as the Benadryl can make you drowsy and should not be taken in combination with some other medications your PS might have prescribed for you. Your PS needs to see you so keep calling his office for an appointment or an opportunity to speak with him.

Answer: What can I do for a rash day 7 post op of mommy makeover? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. You seem to have developed some sort of allergic reaction to a medication or maybe the antiseptic solution that was used during the surgery. These reactions are typically self-resolving, as long as you are not exposed to the offending agent anymore. Benadryl can be helpful. I would suggest that you try to speak to your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Rash Dear momyof4, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
