Had a heart cathe done and i was allergic to electrode gel. what can i do to help stop the itching & redness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use cortisone cream: Cortisone cream can really help with the itching and redness but do not use it longer than a week or two. If you are still having a problem after that time or if it worsens on the cream, contact your doctor to see what is going on.
