It was reported that patient completed the doses of the PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE and got his second shot of the Covid-19 Vaccine almost 2 months ago now. Within a week of the second vaccination, on an unknown date in Mar2021, he began with rash start on his lower legs and then spread up his legs to his upper body and develop a rash all over the body that has continued. He consulted his dermatologist and suggested that he got it from the vaccine. Initially he was diagnosed to have toe-nail fungus and later on his dermatologist told him that it was a reaction from the vaccine. He used OTC ointment Cortisone 10 (max strength and not to use more than 3 or 4 times daily) for skin allergies, seems to have made the scabbing go away, but left a discoloured rash. AE(s) required a visit to Physician Office and no visit to Emergency Room. Seriousness of the case received as No. Investigation Assessment reported as Yes. On an unknown date in Mar2021 (the second or third week in March), dermatologist who did a biopsy and results came back that he was having an allergic reaction to something different in his body. The only thing that was different was the vaccine. He said he had been to a dermatologist who mis diagnosed rash and he was now looking for a new dermatologist with something to work with. Therapeutic measures taken as he was prescribed with prednisone which has a very little effect, did not seem to solve the problem. He was wondering if Pfizer has run across this type of experience before, especially because it has been for so long. Outcome of the event was not recovered.  No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
