“…Cutaneous adverse events after vaccination are previously described for other vaccines. [1][2][3] The vaccination against COVID-19 is an ongoing process and requires monitoring of potential effects over time, even more, the administration to a very large population should reveal rare cutaneous manifestations.…”

“…10 There have been numerous reports describing excessive scarring in the smallpox vaccination site, but the overall incidence rates are unknown. 8,9,11,12 Compared with normal skin, hypertrophic scars and keloids contain increased levels of transforming growth factors β-1 and β-2, cytokines that may enhance scar formation and fibrosis. 13 Newer data suggest that expression of Fas, an antiapoptotic protein, can be used to differentiate between hypertrophic scars and keloids.…”

The typical resolution of the smallpox vaccination site is a smooth scar, a sequela that is discussed during prevaccination counseling. In addition, other types of lesion may develop at the scar site, including short- or long-term benign and malignant changes, as reviewed below. Although current recommendations do not discuss potential scar complications or scar surveillance, healthcare providers would benefit from an awareness of these potential complications, and should consider periodic scar surveillance as part of a general physical examination.

“…1,2 PR and PR-like eruptions (PR-LE) have rarely been described after vaccinations. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] We reviewed the cases of vaccine-induced PR reported in literature differentiating typical PR from PR-LE and trying to explain the pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie these conditions. From 1947 to date, 29 cases of PR/PR-LE have been reported after vaccinations for smallpox, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, influenza, papillomaviruses, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, pneumococcus, diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DTP) and yellow fever [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (Table 1).…”
