How To Get Rid Of Rashes On Hips And Back?

Hi, I had shoulder arthroscopy 6 days ago and noticed a rash and itching in my armpits, the worst one being under the shoulder that was operated on.. i did have a scalene nerve block. I also have the rash on my hips and spreading around to my low and mid back...it is most itchy and uncomfortable in my armpit. As I think about it, I had this same rash after my C-section and after 2 other surgeries and I am wondering if it could be a reaction to the anesthesia. The only other drugs I am on are advair for asthma, allegra for seasonal allergies, and advil. I stopped taking norco on the third day. I noticed the rash the second day after surgery, but it seems to be getting worse, not better.

Hi, thanks for using HCM,
itching rash in the armpits, Shoulder back and around hips usually due to fungal infection.After surgery and using antibiotics may precipitate the fungal infection.It could be Tenia infection.
1) Thorough wash with ketoconazole soap.
2) Cap Itraconazole 200 mg daily for 20 days.
3) Application of Sertaconazole cream 2 times daily on affected part.
4) for itching use antihistamines..like Levocetrizine
Hope this helps you.
