What Causes Red Itchy Rashes?

had surgery on november 28th...a few hours after surgery i felt itchy all over...next day in follow up i asked doc about itchiness and he told me no worries, it was just from anesthesia...itchiness came and went...then two days ago my leg (same leg I had ankle surgery on) broke out in a rash...I called doctor office and was told to use some benedryl...they didn't seem too concerned...said it was probably pain meds...i took benedryl once and it relieved symptoms temporarily but then it came back so then applied benedryl creme...that seemed to take care of the itchiness better...and next morning it was red bumps and itchiness was gone...but couple hours later i was itchy again and rash came back...do you think this is still related to anesthesia or is it related to the pain meds i'm taking...i'm taking tylox...
