Rash from gallbladder removal since today

This is probably quite irrelevant, but after bowel surgery four years ago, I came home with my back ?covered in hundreds of small spots. Some of them with pus as well. They  weren't there before I went into hospital. It was diagnosed after tests as Peri Vascular Dermititis. The scars are still there. Probably nothing like your rash Jenny, but it just reminded me of that time. They didn't itch fortunately, in fact I didn't know they were there until my wife mentioned them to a District Nurse.

?Hope you get it sorted! 

I had gallbladder removal surgery 5 days ago. I noticed the rash the day after. There was still iodine or betadine on my sides...and that's where the rash was. So I thought that was it. I showered and put some cortisone on it and took some benedryl. Well...it's still spreading. It goes all the way around my torso and itchy. It looks like a rash that's red bumps just below the skin.

Hopefully I can see my Dr tomorrow and get some answers. If I do i will let y'all kno. If u guys get any answers please share!

We put it down to a reaction from the drugs or anesthetic. It was very itchy for several weeks and they tried to say they had not seen it before, GP said it was brown tail moth rash. The ointment for it did help but that was not the cause. Never did define the root cause, but it gradually subsided.

Use whatever works for you to stop the itching.

There is an interesting website by a female PhD from MIT, , that describes exactly the problems I have been left with since being scared into GB surgery after going to the ER for food poisoning. I had no problems with my GB, but was told I had to have the surgery ''because I had stones"  I too experienced the rashes & joint pain shortly after the surgery, which I got rid of rapidly by doing various alternative therapies. Now I suffer with pain in the back of my left leg, (neuropathy), & walk a little crooked. My surgery was October, 2017.Prior to the GB surgery, I was in very good health.  i think the surgery triggered an autoimmune condition which I have not found easy to solve. I would be anxious to hear how those who have had their GB's removed are doing now.

I had an itcy rash on my right butt cheek about a month before gallbladder surgery. I was told that it was related to my gallbladder. I had gallbladder surgery on April 16th. The rash is still there but doesn't itch quite as much as it did before the surgery.

I'm using Gold Bond Exema lotion. Has anyone else had this problem on their butt cheek.

Also how much time did the rashes take to disappear completely? 

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank yoi!

Gallbladder surgery

Sept. 26 2018 went to ER

Due to severe muscle spasms/cramps in rib cage.

I had suffer with these muscle/cramps for several years. They had  first started in my legs—so painful I pass out with one esosole. 

However, after GB surgery they intensified lasting for hours instead as before maybe they would only last 5 mintues or so.

ER after CT scan of abdominal and BLood work sent me home with BENTYL (a abdominal muscle relaxer)

Since I couldn’t get appointment until 0ct. 3  2018 Wed. with my surgeon , I got an appointment Oct. 2, 2018 Tues. afternoon with my primary care doctor office.  So, while I was at my primary care doctor they took a look at the beginning of a rash (rash that by that night look like jenny’s)—and wanted to give me a steroid shot; however, since I had talked to my surgeon nurse earlier that day about my muscle spasms and the beginning of a rash, she advise me to let primary care doctor to treat spasms since I had them before surgery but the surgeon would treat rash the next day. BI G mistake on my part—by night I was broke out all over my abdominal and back areaitching SO bad I could hardly stand it. I max out Benadryl doses for  a 24 hor period and was all night take alcohol bath just to have some relief. Next morning I was calling primary care office to get steroid shot they had offer day before; however, took most of morning  before they could get me a steroid call in (Methylprednisolone).  By that time it was time for my appointment with surgeon (was totally blown off by his NO interest in my rash or muscle spasms. He look at my incision and ask if primary doctor had call in a prescription for steroids med and when I total him they had—he was out of exam room and that was it.

Soooooo I think they have to know something about patients having these rashes and for some reason beyond what the heck they don’t want to address it.

Well, took my last steroid med this morning, and starting to itch somewhat—I have an appointment to see my primary care doctor Oct. 10 2018 (Wed.) to discuss rash and muscle spasms. We’ll see?
