THROMBOPHOB-INDUCED ACUTE URTICARIA: A CASE REPORT AND DISCUSSION OF THE CASE

Abstract

We present the case of a lady who was diagnosed with superficial thrombophlebitis on the dorsum of her right hand. She was 47 years old at the time of diagnosis. In order to treat her condition, a topical thrombophob ointment was applied to her skin, and she was also ordered to elevate her hand and provide cold compresses to the area. After surgery or while the patient is getting a blood transfusion, it is standard practice to give the patient thrombophob to treat any blood clots, hematomas, or phlebitis that the patient may be experiencing. Even though it is used regularly, it may produce bad consequences such as erythema on the region where it is applied; nevertheless, hypersensitive responses are not usually documented. Even though it is used frequently, it can cause negative effects such as erythema on the area where it is applied.
