Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

A rash at the injection site after 7 days is unusual. However, if he is comfortable and does not seem bothered by it, it is not a concern.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
