It just kept itching and itching and felt like some kind of hard ball or something underneath the surface of the skin. The area around where the first seems to be a puncture wound, not insect bite per say. It usually swells up and she can see a bite. Hives are happening and it was turning red and is spreading. The fact that it was in the same exact spot the shot was given makes her a little nervous. Recently, to make matters worse, she got bit by a bug on her left ear. She has a sty in her left eye. Everything was on the left side of her body. If it were not her left arm, she would not have anything to think about. The right arm feels fine. It was getting worse, not better. It was turning into a spreading rash on the left arm, which was where they gave her the shot. She does not know she was going to have a long lasting problem. It was still sore, as if she has gotten a fresh shot. It does not feel exactly like a hard ball the whole area was sore and was larger now. It was warm to the touch, it was warm the whole time and a little scab and she occasionally scratches it during her sleep. She tried not to scratch it.
