Patient reports that about 2 hours after the vaccine was administered in his right arm, he had pain at the injection site and a bump developed. He reports that some blood drained from the bump yesterday (5/18/25). He presented to the office today to get checked. There was an approximately 1 cm diameter pink raised and indurated area at the right upper arm. He had been given MenQuadfi at the left arm and no reaction was noted. He does have underlying eczema and keratosis pilaris for which he uses the prescription steroid creams. He was also diagnosed with nickel allergy on the same day as his vaccination appointment and the rash on his belly improved greatly with changing to a belt with a plastic rather than a metal buckle. He was prescribed mupirocin ointment to use on the reddened area and instructed to start duricef by mouth if the area of redness became larger.
