What Could A Spreading Red Rash Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy Indicate?

My son had his appendix removed w/ the laparoscopy procedure this past Saturday afternoon. He now has a deep red rash on his stomach, going down his legs, and on his ankles. It doesn't seem to itch. Is this a reaction to the pain med and/or anesthesia?
