Cammie/ (minirascal)Re: the swollen, rashy-nosed

[Guest guest]

Hi Cammie,

I have been off the antibiotics for at least 3 days, so I don't think

the rash is coming from that. Other than that I have also just

finished all of my Percocet. Maybe my body wants the drugs back..

(haha)

Could be an alar stitch..It was a single stitch that was hanging down

from the time I got home from surgery until about 2 weeks after. I

just left it alone and eventually it fell out. But now the lip is

split underneath where the stitch was which maybe once the swelling

goes down will heal up okay. Fingers crossed on that one because I

sure would hate the split in the lip to be permanent.

Any comments (minirascal) as to what the rash could be from

being that I am off all medications?
