What Is The Treatment For Rashes After Knee Surgery?

I had knee surgery on Tuesday, November 20th. Five days after the surgery, I developed a rash above the area where the ace bandage was placed. I went back to my doctor and they gave me a strong steroid cream. Rash seems to be getting worse.

Any suggestions???

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

In my opinion, it could be a contact dermatitis. But it would be difficult for me to confirm the diagnosis without examining the rash. So, I recommend you to visit your Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
