Can atopic dermatitis patients donate blood?

Can atopic dermatitis patients donate blood ?

Yep just as long as the patch in your arm (inside of either elbow) is clear enough so that they can wipe it clean with a sanitizer thing x

Oh and as long as your eczema isn’t infected

eczema isn’t infected ? what does that mean?

if you’ve got an infection then you can expect it to weap and to have yellow spots/patches on the skin, potentially crusty. If your eczema is infected then you can’t donate- if you’ve got an infection anywhere in the body then you can’t donate

Yes. If your eczema is active on your arm though they may send you away

yes, the same thing happened to me.

yes. i’ve donated blood
