What Could Be The Splotchy, Itchy Rash Near The Scar Of Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hi, I had a left hip replacement 12 months ago which has been going well. However a few weeks ago I noticed a rash which is near to the scar at the top of my thigh. The rash feels quite dry and splotchy and sometimes itchy, quite annoying. Any suggestions as to what this might be?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
This may represent an allergy or a fungal infection. If it should persist, I will advice that you get it examined and managed appropriately. Both conditions can be easily treated with topical creams with little or no side effects. A primary care doctor can adequately address this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
