A member asked:
A week ago, i had an iv in my arm. yesterday, this rash showed up. it's painful and itchy. could it be related to the iv or is it something different?

From the tape: Most likely an allergic contact reaction to the glue in the tape which kept your IV in place. Try some Hydrocortisone cream.
