Suggest Treatment For Allergic Reaction To Shingles Vaccine

I had a shingles vaccine shot and a pneumonia vaccine shot 16 days ago. I have a blotchy, red reaction at the shot sights. Three areas of red that are sore and at times itchy. I also have an itchy rash across the wasteland site on my back. I am taking an occasional benedryl to reduce the itchy, and putting otc cortozone cream on the splotches and rash. Any suggestions?
