Clinical narrative: eczema that is worsening on her arm.; She is 30 lbs less than she was last year.; eczema; nerve pain; itching; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 59 year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date 07May2021 (Lot number: EW0179) at the age of 59 years as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included: "bug bite" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: I noticed itching on my arm back in the summer and I thought it was a bug bite from working in the garden. There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (Dose 1, lot number: EW6169, Vaccination location: Left Arm), administration date: 16Apr2021, when the patient was 59 years old, for COVID-19 immunization. The following information was reported: ECZEMA (non-serious) with onset May2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "eczema"; NEURALGIA (non-serious) with onset May2021, outcome "unknown", described as "nerve pain"; PRURITUS (non-serious) with onset May2021, outcome "unknown", described as "itching"; ECZEMA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "eczema that is worsening on her arm."; WEIGHT DECREASED (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "She is 30 lbs less than she was last year.".  Additional information: She was unsure of whether she should report some "weird" symptoms that she has been experiencing since the summer after receiving her second dose because she was unsure if they were related to the vaccine or not. She reported that she had eczema on her arm and nerve pain. The nerve pain was weird. It's a shooting nerve pain, it's random because it comes and goes in her foot and shoulder. This was all new stuff that came on suddenly during the summer but it was after her second dose. She noticed itching on her arm back in the summer and she thought it was a bug bite from working in the garden but now it has gotten progressively worse from wrist to elbow and now it was move up above the elbow and her skin was getting damaged from it. She had not been to a doctor about all of this yet. She was planning to go to a dermatologist though. She was just wondering if this could be from the vaccine and if she should report it or not. She was worried that it could be potentially related to her immune system instead of it being from the vaccine itself. This was actually brand-new eczema. She has never had it in her life. She was 30 lbs. less than she was last year. She needed to be able to get off the floor for her grand babies. She did not have a prescribing doctor. She got it where her son works. Her son's work was offering it. His wife was a nurse and a new mommy, and they made her get it. These were new things for her.  She didn't know if they are related.  After the shot, she was able to relate the eczema part to the vaccine.  It was random. There was not a lot of nerve pain. The eczema was her main problem. It started in Jun2021. It was definitely in the summer. She was in the garden. So it could have been May or Jun2021.  She thought it was a bug bite at first. It was now all the way up to her shoulder now. The nerve pain was not a huge problem. It was more aside in her opinion. She was wondering if it was a common side effect. She has never had allergies. Today was the first time she has actually put two and two together. She had just been busy. There were adds on tv about people suffering with immune problems. She knew germs are getting worse in the world in general. The body will fight them off.  She has seen the commercials on tv about eczema and now she had it. She knew there was a correlation between immune problems and the vaccine. Has anyone reported eczema after the vaccine. She felt like she was doing her part. Consumer said she was doing a follow up call after yesterday's call. Caller said she didn't have one to provide. She said she got a strange call from a (Withheld) number yesterday afterwards, and wasn't sure if it was follow up from that since it wouldn't let her call the number back. She said she reported on Pfizer COVID vaccine, she was calling to report side effects and she gave a report that she developed eczema and reported based on a picture she took of herself while getting vaccines. She said she thought it was her right arm based on the picture, then realized it was a selfie, which can be a mirror image. She says eczema was something she had never had before, so she reported it, and she would like to get correct side documented for where her vaccine doses were given. Caller said her first dose lot: EW6169 and second dose lot was printed on a sticker and is EW0179. She said the first lot number was handwritten on the card and it is a little messy, but she was sure that was correct lot for it. She said part of vaccine card was handwritten, and NDC/EXP were not provided on the card for either dose. She said she wanted to clarify that she received vaccine doses in her left arm, which was where the eczema symptoms were, which yesterday based on the picture she told them it was her right arm. She said her daughter in law was a nurse and a HCP and a new mommy so she had wanted her to get the vaccine, so she took pictures of herself getting the doses to show her daughter in law she did it. She said she almost never take selfies, and it could be a mirror image picture on some phones where it will flip, and on some phones not. She said she took a selfie of herself to confirm that hers did flip the image and had her hair fixed differently so she could tell which was her left and right sides. She said she wanted to make sure it was her left arm since it was symptomatic, and it was her left arm. She says she experienced the symptom starting in the summer when she was gardening and thought it was a bug bite, soon after, and it got progressively worse. She said she has intentions to go to see a dermatologist, but she has to establish an internist. Caller said she thought she hit a button wrong completing her survey yesterday after her call, there were only two questions, and she hopes that she didn't do something that would reflect badly, she might have hit the button wrong.
