Symptom narrative

Patient presented to pharmacy evening of 11/7/25 and showed the pharmacist on duty her right upper arm, which had two large areas of redness, one on top of the other, that covered her whole right deltoid muscle area. Patient c/o some soreness, not overwhelming, runny nose, but could not say for sure if she had been running a fever or not. Pharmacist palpated the two red areas. The upper red area felt like there was a harder mass under the skin than the lower red area on the deltoid muscle. Patient did not grimace. She said she discovered the reaction on 11/6/25 (no time given), which she decided to take OTC essential lavender oil because it was "a little itchy". She has had nothing regarding the area since then. Pharmacist encouraged her to seek medical attention with urgent care or at least her PCP on Monday (11/9/25) since she presented to the pharmacy on Friday evening (11/7/25) almost near closing time. Pharmacist also encouraged her to take OTC IBU, antihistamine, and/or hydrocortisone cream for reaction. Patient stated understanding.
