Itching along the tapes holding dressing of complete hysterectomy, prescribed Clindamycin, Hydromorphone, worsening. Solution ?
Patient: Hi, I underwent a complete hysterectomy last Wednesday and upon my release, I was given a prescription for Clindamycin and Hydromorphone to be taken 4 times a day. I am done the Clindamycin but still have Hydromorphone. After a few days of taking these medications, I started itching along the tapes holding my dressing. I had the staples removed yesterday and last night and today the itching is much worse and have a rash down my back, back of my legs and neck and on my abdomen. What should I do? Doctor: Hello,Thanks for the query.You might have developed an allergic reaction to plaster.Dont worry it is a common thing,Take an antihistamine and apply desonide lotion.This will take care of your condition.Please meet a dermatologist if it persists.Let me know if you have any other doubt.you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818Wishing__;!!Mih3wA!SBzm6_kI6hCZ58EPH6N_05MFfiPbxWXT0a2TJCdFQObRWm5mV5ur7hUOMa8clQ$  you a good health.Thank you
