Asked By:rgv1 in Weslaco, TX

22 days post tummy tuck, liposuction of trunk and arms. About a week ago started developing an allergy like rash to tuck incision and at every liposuction incision. No pain, fever nor other sign of infection, only this super itchy rash. Currently on Benadryl and Bactrim as per PS , just to prevent any infection from developing.
