Dermatologist, Dr. Dr. Kakkar's Response

Hello,

I don't think the rash is due to the vaccine. It could be an eczematous dermatitis. I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g. Cetirizine tablet. In addition, I suggest you apply a moderately potent topical steroid cream e.g. Triamcinolone Acetonide cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
