Skin rash after donating blood?!
Question: Skin rash after donating blood!?
I donated blood couple of days ago and since then I have this skin rash on my left arm where they took the blood from!. Is this normal!? What should I do!? It's a little itchy but nothing serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You could be slightly allergic to the betadine that they use to clean the area!. Try a bit of cortisone cream to calm the rash!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is possible you are allergic to the adhesive on the tape used to hold the needle in place during the donation!.
The adhesive on the tape causes this type of reaction on me and I can barely stand a bandaid!. The welts the adhesive causes is always worse than the wound!
Try using an anti-itch cream on the area!. If you do not have any relief in a few more days, please see your regular physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
