Call your surgeon's office. If you can't get ahold of them, call your ER and talk to the physician on call. .

Do it now. please

I did and they said for me to quit the shots , stay hydrated and take Benadryl.

Did they see the "rash"? Can you "send" them the photo?

Anyway, please tomorrow let some professional take a look at it. Maybe mark the perimeter with a sharpie. If it spreads---go to the ER===please.

In the meantime, how about some Benadryl lotion? Sometimes applying Maalox topically will calm the itch.----or good ol' fashion Caladryl--remember? The pink stuff.

Feel better, my friend and PLEASE post back and let us know how you make out.

Yes i sent them a pic of it. Thats when they told me to stop the shots

Great minds think alike, eh?

Take care and keep on eye on your rash.

Please let me know how you're doing.

I care.

I had a hot, itchy rash from the blood thinners as well. It slowly went away after I stopped the shots- maybe totally gone at 2 weeks after stopping. Hopefully yours will start to get better soon.

What was the name of the medicine in the shots?

I went to an urgent care and got a steroid cream for my 2nd rash. The blood thinner shot rash is healing so it does not need any medical treatments.
