HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father as the history suggest here this could be hypersensitivity reaction due to the blood transfusion and such reaction forms the urticarial rash and this can be treated with "Diphenhydramine tab three times I day" if does not responds then steroid can be added, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
