ACL: Rash starting 2weeks after acl: consider infection, local cellulitis, irritation from tapes, glues, cleaning solutions. Check with orthopedic surgeon. Keep the area cleaned with soap & water to remove irritants.

It could be a: Dermatitis caused by the adhesive in the bandage. Contact the surgeon's office and be sure to make a note of any other symptoms, like fever, bruising, etc.
