I got flu and Covid vaccines on Thursday, both in the same arm. Now it’s sore and looks like this. The soreness is something I expected but I’ve never had a vaccine location look like this before.
OP, ideally you’ve already called your doctor or gone to the emergency room. If you haven’t, please do so now. Thank you.
Please do not seek mental, medical and professional help here
I get it. I wasn’t looking for advice so much as I was hoping to gauge other people’s experiences to determine if I was overreacting or not. Please remove if it breaks Rule 3.
RN here: call your doctor. Don’t look for advice online, mine or anyone else’s, period.
It’s definitely lupus though. 👨🏻🦯
I think you mean sarcoidosis
You should call your doctor about that.
Thanks. I’ve been thinking about it, but I wanted make sure I’m not overreacting to something that’s normal.
No. This isn’t normal. Go to a doctor or urgent care today.
I’m not a doctor and this isn’t medical advice, but it looks like Cellulitis to me which can be very dangerous.
I was in hospital for a week with that once upon a time, would not recommend 1/10
First off placement is HORRENDOUS. That isn’t the deltoid yo. Second: as others have said GET HELP
Go see a doctor - this is most likely an allergic reaction, but just in case consult a specialist
They are definitely not supposed to look like that. Call your doctor/primary care right away. It looks like an allergic reaction of some sort. Call your primary care.
That could be an allergic reaction which can be life threatening. I would genuinely consider going to the ED if I were you.
Not a doctor here, if it’s warm to touch it’s an infection, draw a line around it in pen with a time and day, then In a couple of hours do it again. If it gets bigger, starts leaking puss or fluid got see a like now.
Source: had a couple of skin infections before
Looks infected to my eyes. But I’m not a medical professional.

As everyone said call a Dr/walk-in I just got my combo a week and a half ago and it never did this.
