What Causes Rashes Around Incision?
1 1/2 years ago I had an operation and the scar healed well, but a few days ago a rash developed around the scar and I am wondering what it might signify. Heat rash or something else since it is only around a smaller portion (maybe 1/3) of the scar and not on any other part of my abdomen.

Hello,
I don't think the rash now is related to the cause of the surgery you had before. It can be related to any other issues such herpes or allergy. You can better send me a photo of the rash on reports in order to better evaluate it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
