    Rash on neck after surgery
    I just got home from thyroid surgery Friday afternoon. I used baby oil to get rid of the adhesives and then suddenly got a rash all over my neck. Little bumps all over. What could have caused this? I took one benadryl (I'm not on any pain killers or medications) to see if it would go away but it did not. It's not itchy at all - just bumpy and red. Should I be concerned? Should I call the doctor? Any ideas why this would happen? I've never had a problem with baby oil before. The rash is only on my neck and not on my shoulders or elsewhere that I used the baby oil.

    This sounds more like a rash due to the tape than it does the baby oil. If it is not itchy and not causing you any problems I'd leave it alone for a day or so. If it does not go away, then time to contact the doctor.

    Do you know if you have any allergies to latex?
