11 days ago Robby had the Varicella Vaccine (Chickenpox). It wasn't until 2 days ago that I noticed any redness at all. Yesterday, the redness was larger. And today I noticed a knot under the skin and a few tiny blister-like bumps.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Aaron had the exact same thing. I spoke to my pedi about it and was told it was normal. It went away relatively quickly and otherwise Aaron wasn't too bothered by it.
EDIT: Though his showed up MUCH sooner. Maybe a day or so after the vaccine. It went away after 3 or 4 days, if I recall correctly.
And btw ... LOVE Robby with the bowl on his head. lol

I know this post is an old one, but my one year old daughter is experiencing the same exact rash from her varicella vaccine 10 days ago. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow, but I was wondering how this went for you if you can remember? Was it something that needed to be treated? Or did it resolve on it's own? Thank you!

Hi Kendra,
I seem to recall it took a few days to fade and I did ice it a bit that first day. Definitely call your pediatrician--that's what he/she is there for!
Again, it resolved on its own.
