Rhogam and excema?

[tarajean56]

I've been doing some reading on vaccines, and excema is mentioned often as not only a result of vaccines but also an underlying condition that might make someone more susceptible to a vaccine reaction.

And then I realized that this terrible dishydrosis I've been battling on my feet seemed to appear with my first Rhogam shot. I can't remember exactly, but I know it was toward the end of my first pregnancy that it started. It seemed to lighten up in between pregnancies, but has got much worse during my second pregnancy (in which I got 2 Rhogam shots instead of just one).

Any thoughts?

Good question, I'm sorry I don't have any insight for you.

I did have Rhogam twice, once prenatal and once postnatal. My son has what appears to be wheat or gluten induced eczema, so I really don't know if he would have been like that anyways, or if something caused it.

Did you look at the specific ingredients of this shot?? Not sure what's in there, but if it has some of the same ingredients and the other vaxes, then it makes sense that it could be the source of your problem.
