I got it on the 5th and this past weekend started noticing hives starting Friday night with my armpits. I thought maybe my deodorant might have just irritated my skin but Saturday afternoon the back of my forearms started to breakout and when I woke up Sunday morning they were from my upper thighs to my chest. The only thing that I'm aware of being allergic to is latex and I'm super cautious about being around it and in the past it's more just made my eyes water.

I ended up going to the hospital Monday morning and the doctor just told me to use Benadryl since they can't tell me what triggered it. It helps but it doesn't completely get rid of the itch. The weird thing about it is it moves around. Right now I feel it on my thighs and slightly on my hands and armpits. Heat seems to affect it too. When I went to bed last night really just my hands tingled but when I woke up an hour later my arms and in between my legs were itchy where they would have been touching together as I slept.
Hey just wanted to say I'm dealing with the same thing. Booster on Dec 28th (3x Moderna), hives everywhere Jan 7... And this continued rash/hives with pressure til now even after taking oral steroids and still on antihistamines. No known allergies or anything before this and no changes in environment or diet.

It really hasn't improved at all in the past month but just managing through with prescription antihistamines.
