Dark brown scars/discoloration from constantly ripping off the bandages after surgery. Almost...
It sounds like you have an allergy to medical tape. I have the same problem and the rashes I got from the tape lasted longer than the incision scars, but they did go away. Now, even my incision scars are barely noticeable.

Yes, red splotches from adhesive tape on a dressing over a serious injury when I was 10 years old. Turned out that I am allergic to adhesive tape. I will be having non-WLS surgery next week and will be notifying personnel that I am allergic to adhesive tape.
