What does the rash look like? I usually put ice on the injection site.

Was it a flu shot? The day after I got one, redness started spreading outward from the injection site until it covered the whole side of my arm. It was really itchy. It spread for a few days and then started to recede with no intervention.

It's want mmr or flu shot. This is what it seems to be. I just asked my friend who's a doctor for suggestions cuz it's really itching him.

Maybe give an anti histamine? (Ask the doctor but that should help with the itching)

I developed an itchy, red, bumpy rash on my upper arm at the injection site of the flu shot this year. It lasted a bit under a month and then just went away in its own.
Never happened to me before, although I have had other local reactions to the flu shot in the past.
