Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Itchy Rashes All Over The Body After Shingles Vaccination?
my sister had the shingles vaccine. after the vaccine she began having rashes break out all over her body. started with the bottom of her feet. the rash lasts a day goes away then break out in another location. its very itchy and red. its been going on for 4 weeks.
I think your sister should consult with a dermatologist as soon as possible. or should go to the ER. The rash could be due to the vaccine or possible shingles outbreak.
Apply Calamine lotion locally, while you send her to ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
