Rash 2 weeks after Varicella vaccine

Beckel84

Hi,
15m old baby boy got his shots 2 weeks ago. Over the past week he got 3 chicken pox pimples that don't seem to really bother him. Today, he's developed a regular, light red mottled skin rash over his entire torso, neck, scalp and ears. The doc (and paperwork) specifically said a rash could develop, I guess I'm just a worried FTM. anyone out there experience this? Any complications or concerns? It doesn't seem to bother him and there's no fever so I'm just trying not to freak out.

If the paperwork mentioned that a rash could develop but it doesn't seem to bother him, I wouldn't be too concerned.  My doctors office always says to give them a call though just to let them know that a rash did develop.

It could be an unrelated rash as well. Id let your doc know just in case.

DD2 got it 3 wks after her vax. It didn't bother her, nor was it contagious. She also had a fever of 104 two nights before the rash broke out. It was gone in 3-4 days.
