I had blood sample taken from vein inside my elbow. All seemed well till after about 8 hours or more I noticed red rash spread around the arm close to the needle prick point. I had similar issue last time I gave blood for lab testing.My platelets count was a bit lower than normal suggesting mild thrombocytopenia. Is the rash due to thrombocytopenia?
