Severe Itchy Skin Rash after Surgery

by Kristine Taylor
(Pensacola, FL)

I recently had neck surgery 11-30-10 and everything went well. Seven hours is how long my surgery took. I stayed 2 days in ICU and 2 days on the surgery recovery floor. I was released and went home to heal. Two weeks later I started itching severely and a red whelped rash appears and my skin turns very hot in that area. My itching was so severe my husband called the ambulance and they admitted me to the hospital. The doctor and every nurse I saw had no idea what this was. They are treating the itching by Vistaril shots but it is still happening and on my face I have swelling but on the right side of my face only. Please anyone that can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanking you in advance for ANY help!

 Same Itchy Skin Rash After Surgery
by: T

I had a surgery about 12 days ago - broken finger where they inserted a screw. In the first eight days everything was fine, then I wake up with a terrible itchy feeling and by the night my body was covered with random itchy bumpy red spots which were very severe and I was unable to sleep. I saw a dermatologist the next day who gave me some antihistamines and something to reduce itchiness and be able to sleep.

I stopped taking Oxycodone plus Tylenol which was prescribed as a painkiller. I hope that was the reason I developed the rash. I read about people with dermographism who developed this condition and it has stayed with them. I hope it will pass soon and I am so glad your situation was resolved well!

 Rash on Face
by: Anonymous

Strangely, I had a similar rash on the right side of my face only, that came up after entering the hospital and before my operation. As I'm very sensitive, I thought it may have been a reaction to the chemicals or detergent in the sheets as I woke up with it the first morning in hospital and it had to be treated with a special creams before they could take me to theatre.

I hope yours is that simple.

 Rash Gone after Hospital Stay
by: Kristine Taylor

I am home now after 5 days in the hospital. No one in the entire hospital could determine why I had this itching rash that whelped when I scratched it. But they gave me Vistaril shots in the hospital and sent me home with Vistaril pills. I needed them only two days of being home and thank God literally I have not needed it since. I am not having the severe itching anymore and it appears to be gone. It's the strangest thing I've ever expierenced! I truly think it was my body's reaction to the metals placed in my neck, I had my C2-C7 rebuilt, I was told it's a titanium metal. I'm truly glad it's gone and I pray it never returns!
