Strech mark rash?
I have called and am on the books for a PCM appointment for the 15th. However, I was wondering if anyone else has had this? What it is: an itchy rash on my strech marks on each side of my body, right above the hips, on my back. I have had it about a week or so. Cortizone and calamine(sp?) lotion do not help, and it has stayed in the same place (not spread) the entire time. Literally on the 'lines' of my newly shrinking strech marks.
No new meds, change in diet, detergent..etc. Like I said, I go to my PCM shortly, but was just wondering if anyone experienced this during the first 9 weeks post-op? I have lost 85 pounds so far.
Thanks for the help, or rather, piece of mind!

Never thought of Shingles....however, one of our RN's here at work says its something topical, maybe I am becoming hyper sensitive since my hormones are all out of whack. She said its odd because it is bilateral and arythmical (i *think* that is the word she used, can't remember. Told me to go get some Caladryl, a topical antihistamine and see if that helps.
She also said to switch my detergent to Dreft, see if it helps at all, and wear my waistband lower to see if it stops irritating it. We shall see!
