Hi,
I understand your concern.
You gave birth 2 weeks ago while suddenly your hemoglobin drops. Did your doctors say WHY? We should focus on the reason because it will solve many other problems in the future.
Next, you are now starting itchy skin rash. That sounds like an allergic reaction to blood donor to me. Immediate consultation with dermatologist and hematologist is highly recommended.
For the moment, I can only advise to take anti-histamines for itching.
Wish fast recovery.
