Rash from gallbladder removal since today
Posted , 28 users are following.
Gallbladder was removed on Tuesday. Today, as I emerged from the haze of my meds, I noticed a red rash from my bellybutton to my breasts. The rashes aren't concentrated around the incision sites. The nurse told me to take a benadryl and a shower, but the rash hasn'y gone away, Should i wait till monday, or go into the ER? I've inclued an image of the rash. Thank you .

I had gallbladder surgery on March 4th stopped taking Meds on the 6th and woke up on the 10th with this rash. Doctor told me to take Benadryl and use Benadryl cream. If this does not help to call back next morning so we will see.

i know this was 5 years ago but i just broke out in the same weird rash after laparoscopic gallbladder removal and found this . It isnt itchy or anything but looks like yours and I think its spreading down to the tops of my thighs. Doc said its probably a reaction to the surgical wash. what was your final resolution
