I am five days post op for BR. I started getting the rash two days post op. I saw PS 3 days post op to have drains removed but he said I was still draining too much. He saw rash told me to stop taking antibiotic, and Lovenox injections. He gave me a script for steroids. I am taking steriods and Benedryl, still looks pretty bad. I'm not sure if it's from antibiotics, Betadine, surgical tape, elastic in bra. I sure would like to know so this doesn't happen again.
