I have petechia on the tops of both my hands. I feel fine and suffered no trauma. Is this from the Guardasil shot I got 2 months ago. I was my first vaccine series. Should I be alarmed?

What does your doctor think about this?

Go to a walk-in clinic or even the ER (they triage patients, so you will have to wait).

How did you get a series of Gardasil shots if you don't have a doctor? And why did you need them?
Your name here is bikegirly - is that motorcycle or bicycle, by any chance, and could you be gripping the handlebars tightly for long periods with your wrists bent?

I don't have health insurance so ER visit can cost around 1000 or more. No longer ride a bike... just used a name from the past that I would remember. The shot and vac were free at health dept. Look all I'm looking for is maybe a NURSE or someone w medical knowledge to lend some advice. That's all

We can't diagnose online. You should probably go to a free clinic where you can be examined and they can tell you what is wrong.

1,000 doctors and nurses aren't going to diagnose you online. And if you won't even say something about your health history, such as which of the reasons you took Gardasil, then you aren't even going to get much general advice. You could have all sorts of history for all we know. We don't even know your age, weight, any other drugs you have been prescribed (including BC), your BP and any number of usual things gone over when you have a medical question.

Not true. For someone with no money and no insurance, the visit would be free. My homeless friend who had no money or insurance always got free (and good) care there. And even with insurance, it wouldn't be the high cost you cite (been there, done that myself).

I got the show for the same reason everyone does... And every time I have been to an ER I've gotten a bill. If there were free ER's wouldn't just about no one have medical debt? This website is stupid

Ok bye

It's a common vaccination to aid in preventing HPV and cervical cancer Joy.

As far as the ER, you have to let them know that you don't have insurance and can't pay the bill. They will give you a form to fill out and put you in touch with the financial department where there are plans in place to take care of all or most of your bill for you.

As for your symptoms, I AM a nurse, they are not indicative of the vaccination. But could be due to other health concerns such as decreased circulation.
