Has anyone noticed getting new allergies? I had some after a CT SCAN yesterday.

Yesterday, I had a CT Scan with contrast. I think it's a dye to help them see the images better. I have had them before. Yesterday was the first time that I got big white itchy bumps on patches of red skin. They appeared on the my left arm first. My IV was in my right arm. I've been putting itch cream on them but it even feels like the bones inside of my fingers were itchy. Another new experience for me, they said that the contrast fluid would be warm, which I've felt before. This time it felt like I was melting, a truly weird sensation!

It is possible for people to develop new allergies as they grow older. I have found several medications that I used to take that I've suddenly developed an allergy to. It's no fun. :-(

@missjessicadawn ~I haven't been out to get Benyril, but I need to because my fingers are still really itchy.
