Born With Vitello-intestinal Duct, Have Bad Rashes Under Armpits And Genital Area With Peeling Skin After Surgery, Had Appendectomy Too. Cause?

I was born with a vitello intestinal duct, my umbillical cord did not detach properly, i then at 8 months old had surgery to reatach the intestine together. Ever since the surgery ive had really bad rashes under my armpits and the genital area with peeling skin. Ive also had my appendix taken out at the same time. Could these rashes be because of the surgery and what could be wrong, is there something leaking like food into my blood or something ? .

Hi i m dr manoj...i do not feel ur rash is bcoz of the surgery or u have eaten something wrong...without looking at the lesions it ll be difficult to comment though...sometimes the peeling of skin may happen bcoz of poor nutrition...may be a drug rash or may just a fungal infection...i recommend that u get yourself examined by a dermat in your area as early as possible...
