Its been 5 days since surgery for gallbladder removal and i now have a rash on my stomach and upper legs. what is this and should i be worried?

Dr. Tracy Berg answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Recovery: Recovery is always challenging, done best with a team and lots of communication. Your procedure may have exposed you to something you are allergic to. Okay to talk with your surgery team about this rash. Okay to shower and use moisturizer on skin. Okay to make post surgery appointment. Be well.
