Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy Bumps After Blood Drawn
I had blood drawn on Thursday and a day later my arm was covered in red itchy bumps. It's Monday and they're not looking like they're going away anytime soon. What are they? I get them from time to time after blood is drawn but usually not as many as I have now.

Hi,
It seems to be an allergic reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for 7 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
