How Can One Relieve From Rash?
fI had a dual chamber Medtronic pacemaker installed last Thursday. I have now developed a rash that covers my abdomin and has moved to my back. It is not itchy but can a person develop and allergy to a pacemaker? What is recommended to relieve the rash?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
Everything can cause an allergy.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and specific treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
