What Causes Red Blisters On The Left Thigh After Receiving A Twinrix Shot?
I had my last of 3 Twinrix on my left arm. About a week later, I started to get a bright red rash and bumps like boils on my left thigh. They are now spreading to other spots. Could this be a reaction from the drug? Sometimes it burns, sometimes itches.

Hello,
The symptoms are probably related to an allergic reaction from Twinrix shot. I suggest you to use calamine lotion for local application.
I also recommend taking daily antihistamines. If the symptoms continue you should see your doctor for a physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
