Hi I has a umbelical hernia repaired with mesh 10 days ago. 3 days ago I developed a rash on my sides that moved to the front of my stomach. My Dr told me to use benedryl cream and take benedryl. I've done this for 3 days now. Today my whole torso area is covered in a very aggregated rash. All I can do is lay in bed with nothing touching it to even half way prevent the itching. Crazy thing is there's no rash on my back. Do you think I'm allergic to the mesh or my body is rejecting it
