I have had eczema the past 20 years. I’m almost 65.Usually it’s just on my legs. This summer I have it on my face for the first time.I can manage it fairly well with topical creams. I have never had Covid, but I did get the Moderna vaccine series and 3 boosters. Since the vaccine I became allergic to the sun. I break out in horrible hives when exposed to sunlight. My dermatologist told me there is a small percentage of eczema patients who are having this side effect from the Covid vaccines… read more
All they said was to avoid the sun, take an antihistamine, and to use a topical ointment like Benadryl cream.
Oh I totally agree. I am totally pro vaccine. But now that they have very good medication to help with Covid, I don’t think I will get another booster at this point.
I am suspicious that my COVID booster contributed to my outbreak. No evidence except the outstanding and strange breakout followed vaccination.
Still I prefer eczema to COVID and will take the next vaccine.
Hi @A MyEczemaTeam Member - I haven't experienced those side effects. Did your doctor mention ways you could manage this new symptom you're experiencing?
