Did anyone break out in a rash after surgery and have itching also with it?

I am 4 weeks postop today. 1 week after surgery I broke out with a rash on my chest and itching almost all over my body. Went to the dr. and they gave me 2 prescriptions for the itching. They don't know what is causing the rash or itchng problem. Before I went to the dr. I tried Benadryl tablets, Benadryl cream, and Aveno lotion for dry, itchy skin and it didn't help much at all. My back is very itchy. My rash on my chest is fading away but I still have it. Did anyone else have this, and if so, what was it from and what did you take to relieve it? Thanks.
