What Causes Rash And Swelling On The Skin After Inserting IV For CT Scan?

hello.

i had a contrast dye via iv during a ct on monday and another today, the first time i was fine but today about 6 hours after the procedure i got a rash where the iv went in.

she took 15 attempts to get the iv in so i suspect the rash and swelling is ude to this, can i leave it to heal on its own or could it be a reaction to the dye thats needs attention
