Dear Richard,
I had my j pouch done 29 years ago - did not have this happen then. But, I have had it happen as I've aged. It could be so many things - did they give you vistoril tabs for it? I take those in the summer - I tend to break out on my arms then. Mine is just nerve damage. But, I will say - now that I think about it - I got this after 2 surgeries later in life - hysterectomy and then a perforated small bowel. I was 45 when that happened, and had the rash types of thing happen after that. Who knows what it was - I keep vistoril - I forget the generic name for it - on hand and was told if I couldn't stand it, come back for steroid shot. I bet Jan might know more. If the meds they are giving you are not giving you relief, I'd go back in and say - need better relief than this. Also - could be allergies to some of your post op meds? I hope you get some relief soon. Take care.
