Symptom narrative

I broke out with a rash within days of receiving the first shot and it became uncontrollable. I was first seen for medical help on 3/24/21 and eventually was elevated up to see a dermatologist regularly. I was forced to receive the second dose of Pfizer on 3/25/21 and the lot# was ER8730. I have been on multiple biologics, oral and subcutaneous steroids, phototherapy, and the latest being JAK inhibitors. It has been nonstop since the first shot and has cost me much of my quality of life and destroyed my mental health.

Current illness

None

Medical history

Widespread atopic dermatitis within weeks of receiving first Pfizer dose and got much worse after second dose on 3/25/21. I received the Pfizer vaccine as mandated because I was and still am on active duty.

Other medications

None.

Allergies

No known allergies at time of vaccination.

Lab data

Subacute spongiotic dermatitis within eosinophils (biopsy was taken on 2/3/25). Previous results on a different biopsy did not seem conclusive.
