Asked By:bebe55555 in Tampa, FL

I had a tummy tuck 1/14/19, after they removed my drains I started to get very itchy on each side of my stomach. I did not itch it and then I started to get a rash (1/22/19) which has become extremely red and now turning dark red almost purple. My surgeon has me on Methylprednisolone 4mg 21 tablets. I have about 2 left and have not seen any improvement. My surgeon and the urgent care stated it is dermatitis caused by an allergic reaction. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to cure it?
