Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Blood donation is quite safe and you have done a good thing by giving blood.
Little red bumps appearing at or around puncture site and itching sensation is just an allergic reaction due to the use of adhesive plaster material.
You can take Tablet.Levocetrizine 10mg once a day for 3 days.
Your symptoms should gradually reduce and disappear in a day or two.
All the best.
