The reporter is the patient.  A 74 year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm, administration date 21Jan2021 (Lot number: EL8982, Expiration Date: May2021) at the age of 74 years as dose 1, single and administered in arm, administration date 11Feb2021 (Lot number: EM9809) as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included: "Autoimmune Problem" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: probably 15 years ago that I have an autoimmune problem. Concomitant medication(s) included: DILANTIN; FISH OIL; PHENOBARBITAL; VIT E; VIT C; ZINC; COPPER; LITHIUM; ZEAXANTHIN; CRANBERRY taken for immune system disorder. The following information was reported: RASH (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "I broke out in a rash; It is getting worse every day"; BURNING SENSATION (non-serious), SCAR (non-serious) all with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered" and all described as "My body just burns like fire at night and when I wake up in the morning, I scratch until, I have got scars everywhere". The events "i broke out in a rash; it is getting worse every day", "my body just burns like fire at night and when i wake up in the morning, i scratch until, i have got scars everywhere" and "my body just burns like fire at night and when i wake up in the morning, i scratch until, i have got scars everywhere" were evaluated at the physician office visit. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of rash, burning sensation, scar.  Additional Information: The patient did not received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the covid 19 vaccine. Consumer stated, "I had both of my Pfizer shots in January and February and I broke out in a rash shortly afterwards and I still have it and it is getting worse every day. I have been to two dermatologists and I have been to doctors but no one can tell me what it is but I have read so many people talking about it on a website called 'Cureus' (not clarified), I am sure that is what it is. My body just burns like fire at night and when I wake up in the morning, I scratch until, I have got scars everywhere. Also, I have taken, I have had a Steroid Shot (Unspecified Shot) and I have had steroid medication (Triamcinolone Acetonide) to rub on my places at night and morning but none of that helped. So, I just thought I better report it. No doctor can tell me and they will not admit you know that it is a result of Covid shot but as many, I know 8 people right here, we all live in a small town, that all have it, that all also have autoimmune diseases (further clarification unknown). I do not know if you can (sentence incomplete)." Consumer further stated, "I have had my two, I will not take my booster, no, I don't know, I can't stand any more of this, this has been going on since like March, it is constant." Consumer stated, "So, then I went to a dermatologist, he did not know what it was or he didn't say what it was or anything but just started burning all the ones on my arm off or froze them off, I am not sure which it was but they made horrible, horrible sores (not clarified further) but he would not do anything to the ones on the lower part of my body but he gave me a steroid cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide) to use three times a day and that didn't do anything. "Height and weight: Consumer stated, "Approximately, 5 feet 4 inches and a 146 pounds." (not clarified further). Expiration date of both the shots: Consumer stated, "05/2021 (clarified as May 2021) for the first one but it doesn't have it on for the second one, the second one was hand written and it has nothing on it as far as expiration." (expiration date for the first vaccine shot captured as provided in tab). Anatomical site of vaccine administration: Consumer stated, "I am not sure what you mean, it says COVID-19 vaccination record card, please keep this record card which includes medical information and then over the right it has a square with a 'CDC' in it and it has my name, my date of birth and that I got it at the vaccination facility (not clarified). I got them, one in one arm and one in the other but I could not tell you which was which, I believe it was my left arm and neither one bothered me." Other medical conditions: Consumer stated, "No, other than that I have been told probably 15 years ago that I have an autoimmune problem which was, if you were going to have one 'close' (voice not clear), you could have because it would probably never give me any problem and it never has but the people here that I know that have it, all have autoimmune disease, that all have this rash (further clarification unknown)." (not clarified further, hence tab left unchecked). Other medications: Consumer stated, "I take 'Phenobarbital' 64.8 mg and I take two a day. I also take vitamins and stuff. I take fish oil 1000 mg and I take 3 of them (dose not clarified). I take Cranberry pills, 'this is for my immune system', 500 mg and I take three of those a day (not clarified further). I take, for my eyes, AREDS2 and I take one per day, it consist of several different things Vitamin C is 500 mg, Vitamin E is 180mg, Zinc 80 mg, Copper 2 mg, 'Lithium 10 mg', Zeaxanthin- 2mg." (not clarified further, hence not captured in tab). Treatment taken in response to the adverse event: Consumer stated, "So, the first thing my doctor did was, gave me a Steroid shot (Unspecified Shot), that did nothing. So, then I went to a dermatologist, he did not know what it was or he didn't say what it was or anything but just started burning all the ones on my arm off or froze them off, I am not sure which it was but they made horrible, horrible sores (not clarified further, hence not captured as event) but he would not do anything to the ones on the lower part of my body but he gave me a steroid cream (Triamcinolone Acetonide) to use three times a day and that didn't do anything. So, then I went to my medical doctor again and she did know what to do, she was the one who originally gave me the steroid shot. So, I went to a different dermatologist in a different town and he gave me the same steroid cream to do twice a day, jump in the shower, take a shower, rub it on the wet body and it has helped but it is still there." Name of the Steroid Cream: Consumer stated, "It is called Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% and you just rub it on, it is 80 grams."  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
