Symptom narrative

2 days post Shingrix vaccine, I noticed an almost perfectly square red area 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" on my arm 2" BELOW injection site. It itched a bit & was warm to the touch but didn't have a raised rash. It was below the injection site. I still had the bandage the pharmacy tech had put on. I did not scratch it. I have a photo. I would like to share it. No other symptoms besides sore arm injection area.
