A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: Should document in your medical records. If true allergy, cannot have iodine containing contrast ever. Could have anaphylactic reaction. Most are also allergic to shellfish. Might be good idea to keep Epipen. Prednisone tablets would be good as well, would need Rx
