What Causes Itchy Rashes All Over The Stomach After Gallbladder Removal?
I had my gallbladder removed 11 days ago, 3 Days after surgery I noticed a rash all over my stomach and one day later I started getting a rash on my arms. Was told by surgeon to take benadryl, that I most likely had an allergic reaction to the soap they used. Took it for two days and was fine, but after another two days of stopping benadryl I began itching in the same places.

You haven't mentioned if you are taking any kind of medicines or not. If allergen is present, Benadryl withdrawl would again cause rashes. It's important to find out cause of rashes. Stop use of soap and see again.
After gall bladder removal excess bile in blood stream also causes rashes, hives etc on the body. This is very commonly found.
In Ayurveda Bile is called 'Pitta' which when vitiated causes rashes, hives, itches etc. In India its managed by giving Turmeric, Neem leaves and Sugarcandy powders mixed equally. Only turmeric or combo of either Neem or Sugarcandy also works. Preferable is all the three mixed. If diabetic, Sugarcandy is avoided. Neem is Azadirachta indica. Alternatively HARIDRA KHAND - a classic Ayurvedic herbal medicine alone works well. No side effects. My patients were always benefitted by these.
Hope it is helpful to you too. These small wonders of Ayurveda has the potential to relieve the humanity of such problems.
