What Causes Inflammation And Itching On The Face After Receiving Shingles Vaccination?
I received the singles vaccine a year or so ago, but beginning about 3 days ago, I ve be experiencing redness, soreness, itching and or a stinging sensation only on the left side of my face. Can a person still get a case of shingles after the vaccine? Sorry, the right side, oops.
It is due to minor inflammation secondary to allergic reaction. As a first like management you can take antihistamines like cetrezine for symptomatic relief. You can also apply low potency steroid like betamethasone for symptomatic relief.
