3/21/25 - 2 weeks after vaccine, mother notified office of rash that developed to posterior aspect of right leg and sent photos. mom notes not bothersome but seems to be worsening instead of improving. Pictures seem to show clustered erythematous papules, not able to discern vesicles. on 3/21/25 nursing staff called to triage and obtain more information, Mom states does not appear to be fluid filled; initially looked like a pimple, but now is more reddish in color. She sent another picture which shows erythematous papules with dry peeling skin almost like eczema. This provider recommended otc hydrocortisone 1% and evaluation with dermatology.
