Hi,
Noted your short history of undergoing
discectomy of C6 and C7, had complications of bleeding and blood clot for which surgery was performed again, now has nasty rash around the scar, moving onto the face.
Well, since you are discharged from hospital it is likely that all the complications were well tackled.
The cause of the rash around the scar that is moving onto the face can be anything of the following:
Allergic reaction to some of the medicine,
Allergy to anything that is applied locally like
Povidone iodine or so.
Local causes like infection or so.
Reaction to internal thread used for closure of surgery
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult a Doctor asap for clinical evaluation to get proper medicines as per the cause found.
Till then take antihistamine like
Benedryl and also let your Doctor know.
Further management as per the cause found.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
