Symptom narrative

developed folliculitis under her scalp; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team. A 79-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: FOLLICULITIS (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "developed folliculitis under her scalp". Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of folliculitis. Additional information: After taking the 5 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines between 2021 and 2022 she experienced folliculitis. Caller states that first time the vaccine came out she got it and it started on her scalp. Ended up in clinic and they were not able to help her either and nothing happened because all of the prescription that was given to her did not work, she even had shots in her scalp but did not work, had special medications made in the special pharmacy but did not work. Folliculitis is very painful and nothing could have been done. It started on the scalp and it moved under the scalp now. Had 3 biopsies done by different clinics. Had some outside on her scalp but she used to have a lot on the beginning when it started. Was taking the medications, had shots and she had a lot of different things, it went inside her scalp now. It's no longer 100% on top of the scalp, patient some but not many but most of the spots right now are inside the scalp. When patient touches scalp, feels bumps with the size of a little rice. It started it was like little pimples with little 'pops' on top of it and a lot of them. The thing developed when patient started having this is that it hurts a lot and it itches a lot. Feels like has a rash and has to scratch her head because it bother her. Lost a lot of hair and whenever drives, have the window rolled down, just the air touching her hair, it hurts her. It's painful. It burns a lot. Was specifically diagnosed with 'Folliculitis'. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202500038076 same patient, different vaccine doses;
