Rash above scar

Hello everyone.
I am going to my 2 week appointment today, but was curious if anyone has had a rash develop around their waist. It is above the scar and is under the medical wrap that I wear. It almost looks like measles. It is very itchy. I only noticed the bumps today. I had been itchy there and just put lotion, thinly, on my back area well above the scar. I'm thinking heat rash?

Will know more when I come back from my appointment.

I am noticing some stitches from my belly button sticking out. Finally, some of the tape has come off the scar area and I can see the actual scar. Some of it looks perfect, but where they had to be very aggresive to lift the butt the scar has a rolled appearance. I'm sure they will flatten out or can be corrected fairly easily.

Other than this I am doing very well. I am getting stronger everyday. I am supposed to get my last drain out today! Underwear here I come!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I had the same problem except mine was below the scar line from my Tummy Tuck and felt like I had little welts that itched like crazy. Dr. told me it was normal. The "welts" were actually stretch marks or parts of the old stretch marks which were inflammed or part of the swelling itself which was causing the skin to itch. I did get some skin discoloration and still have it and Dr says that's normal and in time will go away or mostly go away. It doesn't bother me anymore. The rash could be caused by tight fitting clothes or compression garments. So I hope this helps out a little.
