Rash on thighs after shots....

Anyone else have this happen to LO? DD got 4 shots Friday and yesterday both of her thighs have red bumps all over them. She doesn't have any other symptoms and they haven't spread so I'm pretty sure it's not an allergic reaction. Maybe she is sensitive to the latex in band-aids.....

  • Keep watch, but I would phone the doc so they can note it on her file.

  • A rash after certain vaccines is normal. I can't remember which ones typically cause the rash but I do remember being told by the nurse after my kids got certain vaccines that it was a common side effect for a rash to pop up 3-4 days after the shots where they got the needle. I wouldn't worry unless it starts spreading or she starts feeling sick, etc.

  • She probably just had an allergic reaction. If she develops a fever with the rash, I would definitely call your pedi.

  • Thank you guys, I am keeping an eye on it and put in a call to the pediatrician to call me when they open tomorrow so I can make sure it's normal. This didn't happen with her first round and she got the same vaccinations.

  • Same thing happened to DD. No rash at 2m but a small rash on her thighs after 4m. Pedi said it was normal and as long as it wasn't spreading and she didn't have any other symptoms it was fine.
