The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: blood test: (2021) there was nothing wrong with her. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of burning sensation, pruritus, rash, condition aggravated. Caller states that it got much worse when she received her booster dose. Right after she got the booster dose the rash exploded, meaning it got much worse. She had been experiencing this for 9 months with a rash that was primarily on her legs and arms. The rash began a couple weeks after her first dose, then it got better, then it would flare, then it would get better, and then it would flare again. She suffered with it for a month then finally went to her general practitioner who did bloodwork (had been extensive but there was nothing wrong with her), then to a dermatologist. She was taking medications such as Singulair, cetirizine and hydroxyzine. She said it was an awful burning and itching, constantly. She had been using a cream that was supposed to cost $7000, and it was not helping, called Episerum. Nothing helped her rash. She has also had been taking hydroxyzine HCl 25mg, one every 6-8 hours as needed for itching. She had been taking Cetirizine 10mg (expiry date 11Nov2022), once a day by mouth, since about a month ago, which was prescribed for the rash. She was cutting her vacation short to go home to go to the doctor where she had unspecified steroid shots twice, which helped a bit and then it didn't. Since getting the booster dose she had a steroid shot and was better for a week and a half then it was right back. She said she had used no new detergents or has not had any foods that would cause a reaction, which it was a reaction, her dermatologist thought it is from nothing the vaccine.
