Clinical narrative: he developed ezcema; red bumps; patches of dry skin; The initial safety information received was reporting only non-serious adverse drug reactions, upon receipt of follow-up information on 03Nov2021, this case now contains serious adverse reactions.  This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 84-year-old male patient of an unspecified age received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/Lot Number: EL9266), intramuscular, administered in Arm Left on 16Feb2021 at 15:40 (at the age of 83-years-old) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included mild case of asthma (Mother- Asthma) and allergy to cats. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2, intramuscular, administered in left arm, on 21Jan2021 at 03:22 PM (at the age of 84-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient developed eczema, red bumps and patches of dry skin on Mar2021. The clinical course was as follows: The patient has received three doses of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccine. His first was on 21Jan2021, second on 16Feb2021 and third last Friday on 15Oct2021.  Three weeks after his second dose he developed ezcema which he's never had before in his life and its never really gone away. Maybe after the first shot it did, but it really went to bloom in early March a few weeks after his second dose. The eczema is on his arms, back and legs and are silver dollar like patches of dead skin. He's gone to 4 dermatologists; he lives in a city, so he's been going to a medical office. The ezcema exploded on his upper arms and ironically its symmetrical, pretty consistent. There are red bumps, patches of dry skin and he's up every night between 1am and 3am. He was given steroids and cream, but he believes the steroids aggravates the condition.  He was loading himself up with all these stupid ointments and things.  He has been using soap and Itch Defense. He has tried an elimination diet cutting out eggs, dairy, alcohol, cinnamon, red meat, soy and has lost six pounds.  Its maddening. However, he ate three eggs yesterday and feels fine.  He's never had an allergy to anything in his entire life. His next step with his dermatologist it to try UV treatments. The only correlation he can think of is that it's got to be from the Pfizer Covid vaccine. States he broke out with eczema and it's been 7 months and he has seen 4 dermatologists. Relays that last Friday he had the booster shot and even if there's a connection it's better to be protected than not. He hasn't read anything and saw 4 doctors and has been putting ointment on and is up at 2am. He had the booster last Friday and 2-3 days later the eczema just erupted. States it's too late for anything, it's in him and he is not going to get anymore, he got the booster and it's better to not get Covid than not get the booster. Was asking if there is anything that would suggest the booster and if so does this stuff work it's way out over like 3 months or a year, he doesn't know if there is a connection. He is going crazy with what to eat or not and some doctors say it has nothing to do with it and some say it's a drug reaction. The latest thing is to stop his statin which will make his cholesterol increase. There seems to be a correlation between the vaccine and the emergence of a bout with eczema as he has never had any kind of skin problem ever, bottom line. On 03Nov2021, it was reported that within 3 weeks had an eczema breakout- now 29Oct2021 and still have skin eruption - head to toe, he saw 4 dermatologists, an allergy doctor and his primary. The last dermatologist will start him on phototherapy on 04Nov2021. It wasn't until he called Pfizer that he discovered a connection between the vaccine and his 7 months of torture - also just got a steroid injection and new stronger ointment-Halobetasol propionate 0.05%. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of all events. The outcome of Eczema was not recovered, while of the rest was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
