How Quickly Would Nickle Allergy Show Up After A Knee Replacement Surgery?

How quickly would a nickle allergy show up after a knee replacement. Would it show just on that leg or throughout the body. I ve a rash on the leg that was probably from the lotion used in PT. Now I m told I might (probably not though ) have a nickle allergy

Hello,

It can flare up within one week.

In your case the rash is not that much extensive and thus nickel allergy is unlikely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
