I was operated on 03/21/2025 for a partial knee replacement. That night I started having an allergic reaction, contact dermatitis, on my skin within a 6 inch radius of the operation site. Monday I went to see the surgeon and he prescribed prednisone. He also told me that the rash was in the shape of an iodine drape that they used during surgery. I just had the standard contact dermatitis allergy test - three sheets of chemical compounds glued to my back for 2 days with readings on the 2nd and 3rd days. I came out with a grade 1 allergy to linalool which, the dr. said was unlikely to be the reason for my reaction. Has anyone been in this situation? What did you do?
