The following information was reported: ERYTHEMA (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Bright red spots appeared next day, first on left forearm, now appearing on right forearm/ Few pin pricks of red appear on left arm". The event "bright red spots appeared next day, first on left forearm, now appearing on right forearm/ few pin pricks of red appear on left arm" was evaluated at the physician office visit. Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of erythema.  Additional information: Several weeks after the second dose, she noticed blood spots, bright red, under the skin of  left forearm. Also, appearing on right forearm, but mostly on left ( also contracted a mild case of shingles on left upper thigh/buttock several months after second dose. The blood spots persisted, appearing plus disappearing consistently until 6 months after second dose. She thought they were gone and after booster, they appeared immediately the next day on right arm and continue to present mostly on right arm, sometime quite large; at times a few pin pricks of red appear on left arm. They do not itch, burn or hurt. However, I never had such spots prior to vaccination and  wonder what is causing them and why.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
