Hi, last Wednesday I had a heart Cath. By Friday I started itching and had developed a very red rash on the inside of both upper thighs. I have been taking Benedryl but don t understand what caused this? I am guessing the dye and is there anything else I can do?
Hello, I have gone through your question. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Usually after completion of angiography procedure, elastomer is applied. Some patients are allergic to the adhesive material contained in it or sometimes there is allergy to antiseptic provide. This is not serious, you simply take antihistamines like Tab. Levicettizine 10 mg once a day for 2 to 3 days. You will be fine. My best wishes.DT. Teli, MD
