What Should I Do For Itchy Blood Splotch On Lower Abdomen?

I just had a breast reduction 4 weeks ago and am still recovering.....it itched last night when i discovered it...it didnt itch today though...but its dark dark blood colored
Seems like you have developed lesions of fixed drug eruptions. These are a type of drug allergic reactions. The lesions in this case are initially either red or purple in color and with time they turn brownish. Every time the offending drug is taken, the lesions tend to reappear again and they become reddish and inflammed looking again. So most importantly, the offending agent should be stopped. Pain killers, antibiotics and sulpha drugs are some important drugs causing this type of skin reactions. Treatment includes the use of topical and oral steroids.
So I would advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment.
