Welcome to Healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
Any skin reaction due to blood transfusion usually is an acute reaction and appears immediately during or after transfusion. It is probably a reaction due to something else. You should take an anti-allergic tablet and consult a doctor and get examined.
Any further questions are always welcome.
