Horrible Rash on Tummy 4 Weeks Post TT

Unfortunately this has turned into quite the ordeal. The rash did not go away and spread and got much worse actually. The surgeon sent me to a dermatologist who I have seen twice this week and was prescribed steroid cream and I received a steroid injection due to the unbearable itchiness. It is crazy red and itchy. There is sign that it may be a smidge better but I am trying not to get my hopes up. But I scratched less today then ever before but it is really bugging me now.

The rash is spreading across my back and  up my chest. I now see a faint rash on my wrists and inner forearms. It is so weird! Sigh...I will be calling my doctor on Monday. Anyone ever have this happen before or have any ideas? I have done research but am stumped! 

Blondie0803--I just had TT surgery and what is happening to me sounds exactly what happened to you.  I am miserable.  Did you get better?  How long did it take? Did you discover what was causing it?  What worked best for the pain?  Sorry for all the questions, but I am miserable.

Oh no! I am so sorry I forgot to respond to you! How are you now? For me, it was an allergic reaction to something (the docs think something in the surgical binder). I had sweat a lot in it and I think that triggered my reaction. I did eventually heal but I had to take oral steroids and use topical steroids on the rash.  Please let me know how you are doing now!!!

I healed up enough that I ended up having my BA/BL in June. I was so nervous about another rash but thank God, I was fine.
