Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Redness On Neck And Chest With History Of Anemia?
I have redness on both sides of my nec k and on my chest. Have had for some time meaning years and is obviously more prominent in summer. Was recently in hospital for Anemia and had 4 units of blood and multiple testing and every doctor asked me about it but that was it. All seemed baffled by it. Doesn t hurt but is noticeable all of the time.
In some patients with anemia requiring blood transfusion this is a kind of light reaction which is not dangerous. Usually we give antihistamines in such cases. No worries it is not a serious problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
