Rash On Abdomen, Near Incision For Hysterectomy. Applying Cortisone Cream. Recommendations?

I have a rash on my abdomen, near the incision for my total hysterectomy 5 weeks ago. At first I thought it might be poison ivy, and my doctor gave me a cortisone cream. I've been using the cream for 5 days now and there has been no chance. In fact, it feels like it might be migrating around my waste. It is right on the area that my waste band sits.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
The lesion you are referring may be due to fungal infection. Since you are using cortisol there may be no itching. Use ointment with both antifungal and steroid combination, clean the area regularly, dry it and wear loose dress washed with hot water. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
