TKR implant allergy?

Good morning @4russcoll Thanks for bringing those eruptions after TKR to my attention. I am 3 months out and I had those bumpy things the first week or so after the actual surgery. They looked like bites and were a bit hard when I felt them. Then they became itchy and now they are gone. So, I alerted both my surgeon and my dermatologist. I don't think they have figured out this mystery yet. And the mystery was that this break-out allergy of some type was only on the surgery leg and only above the knee.

If you learn anything please let me know. I am giving up on finding an answer right now. Everything else is going super well.

May you have patience and ease.
Chris

Thank you for sharing Chris. Our symptoms seem similar but also different as my “eruptions” have been all over rather than on my surgery leg and timing was delayed by several months. Will let you know if I learn anything. Hopefully becoming few and far between but darn things are taking forever to heal. Maybe characteristic of 76 y/o skin?
Wishing you all the best in your rehab.
