Yeah, don't get too concerned even if it is GVHD - acute GVHD right after transplant is pretty easy to fix. I had some awful hives about a month after transplant that was confirmed as GVHD, and that was cleared up after a week or two with topical steroids. To date, that's still the only GVHD I've ever had, so don't take this as any indication you're going to be stuck with it forever!
