What Causes Hives And Itchy Swollen Spot At The Injection Site?
I have had a series of issues over the last 8 weeks. I have been having hives. I went to an allergist/immunologist and they ran multiple tests. ANA panel was positive 1:160 speckled pattern. He sent me to a rhuematologist who ruled out lupus and Rhuematoid Arthritis. I became pregnant during this time and then had a miscarriage at 6.5 weeks. I bled so bad during the miscarriage I ended up in the ER and had a D&C, was very anemic. I am still having hives and when blood is drawn I get an itchy swollen spot right at the injection site. It is not a reaction to the latex, very confined to the puncture area. I had the same kind of bleeding when I had my daughter and had 2 blood transfusions. Any thoughts?

Probably it is a disorder related to your coagulation get detailed evaluation by a hematologist like bleeding time, clotting time, and other coagulation parameters. You will need a detailed evaluation for the same.
