1/ For about two weeks now I have been suffering from a disturbing skin problem. My left arm and the right side of my chest developed a redness, accompanied by pimples and itching. It's unbearable.

2/ The dermatologist I have consulted with glanced at it, and asked if I had ever suffered from skin asthma. I told her no. But that I'm very allergic to the change of seasons, and maybe that's a reaction to that.

3/ She nodded, prescribed me two ointments to apply twice a day, body lotion and therapeutic soap and sent me home.
I have been applying these creams and lotions for a week now. And I hate it. I have always hated the touch of cream on my skin.

4/ But yesterday, a neighbor saw me and said immediately, that this may be a reaction to the third Pfizer Corona vaccine.
I returned home.

5/ I googled and found an article in a journal of dermatologists, reporting two cases of atopic dermatitis after getting the vaccine, around the world.
I'm probably the third case of this.

6/ According to this essay, this should be treated not with creams, but through antihistamines and glucortisoids.

7/ It turns out that those who are very allergic like me to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, seasonal changes, etc., receiving the vaccine may encourage them to develop skin allergy.

8/ However, the vaccine is recommended for patients with atopic dermatosis, according to all the articles I read today on the subject. And I read a lot.
I am in favor of the vaccine, I took three doses, and if necessary, I will continue to be vaccinated.

9/ As much as this skin irritation bothers me, dying from suffocating scares me more. But you should know about the connection of atopic dermatosis to the vaccine, and that is why I wrote it for you here.
