please help. A friend who gave birth 7 weeks ago and had a rubella vaccination 2 days later has come out in a severe skin reaction. the dr's cannot diagnose it and have just given hydrocortisone. she started profuse sweating one day after the jab and a few spots appeared behind her leg. Now the rash has extended to her legs, stomach breasts and arms. it is a slightly raised very red rash. some spots. she describes it as > ice and fanning and < heat, night. She wakes up up scratching at night and bleeds. needs to keep uncovered.
i have thought about ledum (>ice cold) and carbo-veg (>fanning), but i don't know if getting rubella in potency may be a better choice? do you have nay suggestions?

Sorry I don't understand if it is the Mother or the baby who has the rash and if one of them had the jab 2 days after the birth. Has who ever it is had the rash for 7 weeks?

You may consider mezereum based on the following rubrics:

Skin eruptions

general/eczema after vaccination
itching warmth agg
itching night
itching cold air amel

Good luck!

Thank you--I'm glad the posts are helpful.

dear nikitha,

please look for any glands near neck(posterior).sometimes it is rubella itself slowly erupting(or suppressed) and the other chance is vaccination.

the stage where carb veg is used is the collapsed condition in which eruption is suppressed and in sinking state and craves cold air ,not this stage.

here some rubrics

generalities -vaccination after
skin-eruption=red rashes
itching< night
<warm on becoming
<warm on becoming in bed

and one sentance from MM PURA (under Sulphur)by hahnemann-line 680-cutaneous eruption as is apt to occur after vaccination.

you can study sulphur here.
