My baby received a variety of vaccinations 12 days ago including hepatitis B. Yesterday I noticed little red bumps on her legs; 6 little raised papules on one leg and 7 on her other legs. Could the appearance of these bumps be related to any kind of vaccine. She was 5 months old yesterday?
Hi there! I understand your concern. It is unlikely that the vaccination caused the bumps, especially since it has been 12 days. She most likely has a viral erythematous illness or depending on where you stay, mosquito bites? Press the pa pules and see, if they blanch and turn pale for a second or two, they are most likely insect bites. Meanwhile, if she seems irritable (she is too young to itch), give her cetirizine to ease the irritation. Watch out for
