I'm 8 wks postop and last week I broke out into a rash. Under armpits, in the crease of your arm, the arms, neck and back. Usually I only do this when my mom comes to visit (serious, 1x a year). But not sure if this is from some new "all natural" baby oil I started using (Burts Bees Apricot Baby Oil) 2 weeks before - just figured I would have irritation within a day of using it, not a delayed reaction. My 1st month blood work was good, iron was on the bottom of the range. Still struggling to get in all my protein, water, and dealing with nausea upon eating. I've also had 2 hemmorhoids "thrombosed" and have been to the surgeon like 6x this month to have them cut open to drain and for him to watch...so I'm on stool softners. Just wondering if its stress from all the activity this month, or if anyone else has incurred a rash. Using Cetaphil wash and lotion now, its helped the past few days, but still slightly itchy. Wondering which Dr. to call, my regular one or my WLS surgeon for help.

I personally break out in a resh from Stress. However remember that you body is giong threw alot so everything will be different. Even your favorite perfume will not smell the same on you. I would call a dematologist. good luck.

Went to Derm. Dr. - said it was contact dermititis from the Baby Oil. Gave me some pills for the itch and some steroidal ointment for the rash. Ooooh I feel a lot better already!
