Symptom narrative

Patient stated that he broke out in itchy hives on his arms and back. This started 3 days after getting the vaccine and he still has the rash on his back today (2/28/25). He doesn't recall changing anything in that period of time like soap, detergent, shampoo, taking any other new medications, or anything else new. He has gone to his dermatologist, and they stated that they believe it could just be dry skin because it is the winter, but the patient believes it is from the vaccine. The dermatologist suggested that this could be from the wood stove the patient has in the house, but the patient has been using the wood stove all winter and hasn't changed the type of wood used in it. The patient is going back to the dermatologist to get a full body exam to see if there is any other cause from it.
