A member asked:
Had a blood test done exactly 5 days ago. now it is itchy and reddish and looking like dermatitis at the puncture point on the elbow.what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely allergic : Reaction to bandage. What you described suggests an allergic reaction to some component of the bandage/bandaid that was applied after blood draw. It should resolve on it own in a few days. Do not use the type of dressing/bandaid that was used after venipuncture.
