A member asked:
If a doctor sees you had a allergic reaction to medication will he put a cast on after surgery? i have a split on and then a cast but i have a badrash

Rash under cast : A rash needs to be watched if it is in danger of becoming infected , so a surgeon needing to operate on the same area is going to have to keep an eye on that . There is often more than one way to immobilize a limb after a procedure, so talk to your doctor about the options for keeping a close watch on the rash to be sure it finishes healing !
