I have developed a rash on my arm the last couple of times I donated blood. I'm assuming this is an allergic reaction to the antiseptic used
to clean the arm before inserting the needle. The rash usually lasts 7-10 days. Does anybody have this problem when donating blood? If so what solution do you employ to alleviate the rash and swelling?
I have tried Benadryl tabs @ 50mg and Cortizone cream with no luck.
