Acl On Left Knee Torn While Playing. Surgery Done. Itching, Rashes Around Cuts. Possible Reason?
I torn my acl on my left knee while playing basketball awhile ago. I had surgery last year. I had a clicking sound ever since and went back for a second surgery which I had 2 weeks ago. Wednesday I notice I was itching a lot and a rash developed with small bumps around the cuts. I like to know what could that possibly be?

hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
it look like you have allergic contact dermatitis .
it may be due to dressing material ,cream or ointment used or any other contact allergen
apply antibiotic cream over cut and hydrocortisone over rash ,for itching take antihistamine tab
better to consult dermatologist if itching not subside
i hope i answered your question
