I’ve had rashes appear on my arms and legs. They’re worse after a warm shower but not itchy. I’ve recently had appendicitis and an appendectomy and it’s come on after I’ve had the surgery. Do you think it’s related? Is this something to be worried about? I’m not normally a rashy person at all. Thanks
