A member asked:

2wk post laproscopic gallbladder, red rash encircling my navel by incision, itch like crazy. just saw doc b4 this happened. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection?: You may be describing a surgical site infection of your umbilical port site. It may also be a reaction to the tapes that were on your skin until recently. I would discuss it with your surgeon and give him/her a chance to see you and the rash you are talking about in person.
