What Causes Rashes On Arm Where IV Was Placed During Colonoscopy?

I had a Colonoscopy Friday. They started the first IV in left arm, but it wouldn t drip, so they started on in right my right and that is the one they used to administer the medicine to help me sleep. I now have a small small rash on each arm where the IV was. Small bumps and it itches.
