Suggest Remedy For Itching In The Pacemaker Area
After having a Pacemaker fitted on 20th Dec I have now developed an itchy skin reaction in the area of the pacemaker this started beginning of Feb so 6 weeks or so after the PM was fitted, I have seen my GP and also been back to the pacemaker clinic, I have been advised to take antihistamin daily but not to use any hydrocortisone cream just a mild moisturiser E45 - it is not improving and is spreading. Appearance is a red rash which is around the PM area spreading to the neck, gets very warm and is extremely itchy any suggestions??? I was concerned as I am allergic to Nickel however the PM clinic advise there is no Nickel content in the PM
