What Causes Red Rash After Blood Drawn?
I had a stomach bug a month ago. While in er I had blood drawn and a iv line placed. It took several nurses several tries ini each arm before one finally got it. Since that day I have developed a dime sized reddish rash about every week or so in each arm. What could this be?

HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of hypersensitive reaction is very likely and this could be coincidence only that the blood drawn and the symptoms appears otherwise this is nothing to do with this, antihistamine can be tried for this, take care.
