Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The esophageal banding doesn't cause any skin reactions. Where do you have the skin rash? The skin allergy could be due to some foods/medications/some contact allergy to name a few. I suggest you visit your concerned doctor for the same to be reviewed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Smruti Pevekar
