My mother had a inguinal hernia repair 4 months ago without a problem.  She soon got a rash on her back and was treated with Prednisone.  It cleared up somewhat but never completely.  They thought she might have had a latex reaction but blood work was normal. Coulda his be a reaction to the mesh used. Her rash is all over.
Hello, thank you for your query. The rashes that your mother developed over her back is not did to the mesh used during inguinal hernia repair. It is probably an allergic reaction developed post surgery following certain medications or the use of the plaster over the back following spinal anesthesia, I would suggest you to use antihistamines to reduce the itching along with calamine lotion. You can also get a consult with a dermatologist if it worsens. Thank you
