Clinical narrative: I got really sick; I was out of it because of my fever, I got worse like more extreme itching and then I got the ointment and rash had started all over my torso; I laid in the Sun for a couple hours and later that evening I started itching all over my stomach and my back.; itching; I had the very localized rash on the inside of my thigh; I was out of it because of my fever, I got worse like more extreme itching and then I got the ointment and rash had started all over my torso; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 34-year-old female patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (COVID-19 VACCINE) via an unspecified route of administration on the left arm on 16Feb2021 (Batch/lot number: EM9809) at the age of 34-year-old as single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included hernia in upper stomach esophagus, patient stated that it was diagnosed at least 7 years ago, maybe 8 years ago. Investigation assessment was no. Concomitant medication included omeprazole taken for hernia in upper stomach esophagus. On 17Feb2021, the patient had the very localized rash inside of left thigh and it got really bad and it looked like I had kwashiorkor or something. It was itching so bad and it were ongoing. Patient was out of it because of fever and got worse like more extreme itching. Patient went to urgent care and a couple of days later and got an ointment. They also prescribed some prednisone but patient did not take the prednisone yet. Patient just took the ointment. On 23Feb2021, patient laid in the sun for a couple hours and later that evening patient started itching all over stomach and back. So patient think that was the sun and they have caused some itching, like an allergic reaction start happening and  don't know that was from the vaccine or from the ointment that patient was using. But patient stopped using the ointment 3 days ago. So now patient was still itching. It was then almost 36 hours later patient still itching all over stomach and my back and a little on legs and so patient debating on taking the prednisone now but patient was reading in the side effect and the precautions for the prednisone that, it says, this medication may cause vaccine to not work as well. Like vaccines may cause serious problems. It was given while patient were on this medication. So now patient do not want to take the prednisone because of that so, patient do not know what to do. When paraphrased the concern, Consumer stated, "The next day I got really sick. I had almost all the side effects from the vaccine. I had a fever and everything and I also developed an itchy rash on the inside of my left thigh. Yeah I did not start reporting my symptom until the 19th because I was not aware that I was supposed to be reporting them every day. So I wasn't able to save in the symptom tracker thing. I was not able to save all the side effects that I got. So I wanted to call and report though and all the side effects that I got on 17th. I had the very localized rash on the inside of my thigh. I think it started on the 17th, but I do not remember because I was out of it because of my fever, but I got worse as the days went on gradually like more extreme itching and then I got the ointment (Fluocinonide) and then the rash had started all over my torso."  Started on the 23rd in the evening." When probed for name of prescribing doctor, Consumer stated, "No. I got it because I am considered as the first responder at work and a (company name)." When probed as if the consumer wants to know if the events are related to the vaccine, Consumer stated, "Yes, I want to know if I should go ahead and take the prednisone or not". Consumer stated, "When I went to urgent care he prescribed it to me, just in case and I haven't taken it yet but the side effects and the precautions tell like I should not take it. So I do not know what to do." The outcome of events was not recovered.  No follow-up attempts are possible; no further information is expected.
