Clinical narrative: can't even sleep at night.; couldn't diagnose that the part was either dermatitis or shingles; couldn't diagnose that the part was either dermatitis or shingles; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 48-years-old patient of an unspecified gender received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2, via an unspecified route of administration, administrated in arm right on 12Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0150) at the age of 48-years-old as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included Hypothyroid.

Patient had the Covid vaccine on an April 12 and it went three week now and patient just recently started having a reaction and patient went to see my doctor yesterday and they couldn't diagnose that the part was either dermatitis or shingles. The patient had second dose of vaccine on April 12. Last Monday (03May2021), patient started having itchiness on only the right side of upper portion of face. Patient had shot in right arm, patient lymph nodes were enlarged. That's the one thing then second thing was last Monday, patient started this, this itchiness started and right side of nose and over to cheek up to a kind of outside corner of eye and next the itchiness was gone away for that well patient guess eye was still there for cheek portion is done. Now it's from that outside corner of forehead and on scalp and it was so itchy, it's like chickenpox patient mean like patient had to take two Benadryl every four hours to keep itching it's kind of that pain but patient do have some red spots on head but again they couldn't diagnose as shingles, they couldn't diagnose it really yesterday. The only thing patient had done making patient aware, patient could potentially have recurrence of shingles and patient did have that two years ago. Patient was loosing mind, it's so itchy. patient mean patient could even sleep at night. Patient had to put cold tampons on head and it just on right side, it is never move to left side only to right side which was so weird. The patient was just having a really bad reaction, first it was itchiness was on, it went from like the center of patient's forehead nose all the way over to right side. Patient had shot on the right side and it was on nose and cheeks to begin with, just itchy not a rash and now it's moved to forehead and in to patient's scalp and on patient scalp there are little red dots. Patient went on to primary doctor and they can't diagnose it because it didn't look like shingles, the patient was about out of my mind itchy, so bad. The patient was having to take 2 Benadryl's every 4 hours to kind of keep it at bay or a cold compress. Other treatment for the events included Valacyclovir and prednisolone. Valacyclovir 1mg, three times a day for 7 days.
