Additional information: It was also reported that wife, calling on behalf of husband, aged 62, received the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccine and eczema flared up five months after second Covid-19 vaccine. Fourteen months ago his diabetic medications were changed. Two of them were changed, one of them added was metformin. She had heard metformin and ezcema don't mix well. She had read that in a study. After the Pfizer vaccine his skin seemed more inflamed than ever before. His doctor thought the diabetes medications added to the fire and the Pfizer Covid vaccines added to the fire. Six months after the vaccine his skin seemed more inflamed than ever before, total redness- looks like a third degree burn, hives, oozing. They were going to see an infectious disease doctor and a new endocrinologist. He had also been having increased joint pain since increasing the metformin. The ezcema had been so bad he went to urgent care on holiday and on  11Jul2022.  He had never been immunized with other vaccines before, other then the vaccine people get for rusty nails. He was never immunized with normal vaccines. Only got the Tetanus shot for work. Covid-19 was his first ever immunization to anything else. No symptomatic problems with either Covid-19 vaccine until 6 months after. Then, he flared up with horrible eczema that cant seem to get under control. Skin was redder than a fire hydrant inside his arms and legs. Almost like a burn victim, then got hives, then started oozing. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. There was a Physician office visit urgent care, primary PCP, and being followed by dermatologist. There were no prior vaccinations and no adverse effect within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. There were no product complaint to report.
