Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic, H1N1 vaccine won't help to cure your skin rash. You should get a second opinion from another dermatologist and try to diagnose the skin disease. 1 year you have been suffering from this undiagnosed rah and thats a long time. You should even go for a skin biopsy if clinical diagnosis is not possible.
