What Causes Bumpy Rash Around Where The Dressing After Removal Of PICC Line?
I had a PICC line removed today with no problems. I have two problems now. One is that i have a bumpy rash appearing around where the dressing had been and it is extremely itchy and getting worse each hour. The other is a sudden attack of lightheadedness and blurred vision and just not feeling right, that passed after eating a sandwich and left me unable to keep my eyes open and falling asleep for about an hour yet now I am wide awake and feeling normal again. I must add, i had eaten a big lunch, so this was not due to not eating all day or anything like that. No other health problems other than lower than normal blood pressure for the past few months (usually 90s over 60s but my record low was 84/48 with no symptoms.

* The red rash is in relation with thrombophlebitis .
Primary relief with ice & hirudoid or thrombophobe cream application
but definite treatment with the physician is warranted .

BP , which also requires physician assistance .
