Take a shower: The brownish orange paint is most likely betadine, an iodine containing antiseptic. Some patients will have some sensitivity, which may be the situation in your case. You can go into the shower and wash it off. Your bandaid incisions can get wet. It is less likely an allergic reaction to a medication that you got in the operating room. If it gets worse, contact your surgeon's office.
