What Causes Lesions On Face, Head, Belly, Lower Abdomen After Having Gall Bladder Stone Operation?
My aunt had her gall-bladder stone operation few days back. Today we discovered that her face, head, few parts of belly and lower abdomen is having lesions! Is it a medicinal side effect? Her medicines consist of Amoxicillin, Paracetamol and drugs containing potassium. What do we do? Why this has happened?

Thereis no such thing possible after gall stone operation routinely. But as u describe this may be a drug reaction and mostly due to either paracetamol or amoxycillin. U need to consult your operating surgeon on emergency basis and also dermatologist. Secondly this may develop as a result of coagulation abnormality developed post operatively due to obstructive jaundice or septicemia so need to consult our doc immidiately
