Can Red Spots Surrounded By Ring Be A Reaction To Hepatitis Injection?
My husband is military and received a hepatitis a vaccine about a month ago within a few days of recieving the vaccine he got 2 red colored spots with a ring around them that s a little darker in color they are about dime size or smaller and aren t bothering him but it worries me as I m pregnant I ve also noticed a similar spot on his side under the arm he had the injection that does bother him (it itches) is this a reaction to the injection? do I need to worry about it possibly being contagious since II m pregnant or for our other 3 children s sake?

it may be drug induced allergic reaction.for this you can provide inj.oradexon 1 ampoule IV stat and antihistamine once daily for 5-7 days. if it persists after this please go to your nearest hospital and your husband need to run some investigation under the guidance of doctor. drug induced allergic reaction could not be contagious. but if it is not due to allergic reaction then we need to exclude the skin disease and have to assure whether it is contagious or not.
