Why would someone get rashes after gallbladder surgery, even several weeks later?


Answer:
Your gallbladder holds bile acids, which can be really itchy when they build up in your body and get to the skin. They can also make your skin look yellow or green, ie jaundiced.The most common symptom after gallbladder removal is diarrhea. However, jaundice has been reported. Was this person jaundiced even before surgery? Immediately after surgery? Or at least a few days after surgery?If jaundice was present before surgery, this makes me think that a stone may have been obstructing the common bile duct, so s/he should have had an ERCP to remove the stone as well. Or it could be liver or bile duct disease, most of which--at the stage of presenting jaundice--is not easy to reverse.If jaundice occurred right after surgery, probably the anatomical change and/or inflammation has led to bile build-up in the body leading to the rash. This will probably settle once the body adapts and the inflammation settles.If jaundice started a few days to weeks after surgery, that's more concerning. Call your doctor.And if the person has had fevers or chills, has been vomiting, etc., definitely take that person to the Emergency Room.
Could it be a staph infection? You should probably get that looked at.
