Have any of you experienced any rashes that have formed? 

My sister who had RNY about a year ago were talking and she has had a rash show up around her neck.  She stated the Dr. said that was normal for GB patients due to changing of chemical makeup.  Which I have had a rash in my armpits that I have been just dealing with without going to a DR.  She suggested that it may be the same thing that she has on her neck.  Her Dr said it is a form of eczema and has prescribed a high dollar foam that can be used and supposedly will take care of it instantly...we will see about that.

So have you guys had any rashes that are not associated to excess skin hanging?

*Sometimes* rashes you can get in your armpits can also be yeast. Mine is really itchy though. You didn't describe yours, so unsure. But Ketoconazole ointment works very well.
Good luck.

Mine is itchy..mostly in the am after getting up and red and bumpy.  I have stopped using deoderant to help top the madness.   Like I said the worst part is in the AM ...then fine rest of the day...weird really!
