Nasty rash

I had my port out last week, thinking that the bad stuff is behind me and of course trying not to look at anything ahead that may be scary when blam, I got this nasty post surgery rash. I have itchy bumps on my chest, neck, face and 1 arm. I also had welts around the steri strips by the incision. The welts have gone down but my face is a mess. It's hard to go to work looking like I have some horrid 3rd world disease.
Has anyone had anything like this? The surgeon had no idea and was going to call a dermatologist but i haven't heard back from her yet. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it
Thanks so much
Henny
