Symptom narrative

Recurrent breakout of either shingles or herpetic dermatitis after gardisil shot. I received the first gardisil shot in January of 2025, and 2 weeks later I broke out in a severe rash all over my body. I took antivirals and the rash went away. Less than 1 week after the second gardisil shot the same rash came back again. I believe it's related.
