It will clear up. Some people are allergic to the dye. Make SURE if you need the contrast dye again, you mention this rash. Sometimes a second "exposure" can be much worse than the first exposure.

I got the warm feeling and flushed when I got my scans (only got them once when I was one year out for the same reasons you got yours today - I had some rib pain etc which is most likely due to rads but you think its your bones or liver).
