How To Cure Itchy Rashes After Being Diagnosed With Double Hernia?
My husband had a double hernia repaired almost two weeks ago and now he's breaking out in a rash that's very itchy. Benadryl seems to help, but doesn't completely eliminate the problem. Could it be a reaction to the internal disolvable stitches? We've ruled out everything else he could be reacting to.

Hi,
It depends on the site of itching. Allergy to suture material can happen in few. Please discuss with the surgeon who operated on you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
