Skin rashes after PET CT Scan

2018-02-17 16:34:26
I had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast. The next day I observed red itchy rashes on my skin on the entire body. Is it an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicines or contrast used for the scan? What should I do to heal it? I had the scan day before yesterday.
