Additional information: The patient was wondering if it was a side effect of the vaccine if he got a red patch that itches and then went away. Sometime after those vaccines he began noticing red itchy spots that came and went from time to time on his body, they could be anywhere. He did not have any issues with them while he slept, he stated that they were aggravating during the day. He stated that started on hands and around his fingers and then moved other places. He relayed that the only thing that helped was lotion, washing hands more, and sometimes they just went away by themselves. Stated right then he was itch free. Also stated that he could no longer wear jewellery. He would put on a watch and within 30 minutes he starting getting red and itchy. He described the rash as red, itchy and warm to the touch. He had seen his primary care provider and a dermatologist and stated that they did not provide much help.  He had seen that break out in some areas on different parts of his body, and it did not have scabbing or anything involved, so he tried to help the situation by putting lotion on the area, which seemed to help, but he had heard that some of the COVID-19 vaccine shots, not necessarily from Pfizer, could contain small pieces of metal and that he could not seem to wear any jewellery anymore. He wore them all the time until that nearby area turned red and itchy, at which point he removed them and it went away in a short time. He was wondering if side effects from three Pfizer shots could cause itchiness and redness of the skin as a side effect.
