12 weeks have a rash.
Posted , 6 users are following.
I noticed a rash about a month ago from my operated knee down almost to the shin,around 9 inches. Looks like dermatitis. All on right hand side of knee. Saw the Nurse at doctors,she wrote me a prescription for canesten cream. Doesnt seem to be working. Could it be related to the replacement and why if anybody has any ideas or experienced this? Thank you folks.

i had bilateral tkr's in October and I got a rash from the outside of one knee and it spread to my thigh. It was very itchy and seemed to heal a little before spreading. I saw the surgeon and showed him. He said it couldn't be from the operation but he was a bit sheepish I thought. He asked to see me again 2 weeks later and it had all but gone.
It seems to me, it's to much of a coinsidence that a few of us have had the same rash. I really think it must be to do with the surgery. I hope your rash clears up quickly too. I used just a anticeptic cream.
best wishes
