Hugh red spot on leg / help

I have a pretty big red spot on my leg where I gave the 2nd shot. Spoke with my doctor, sd not to give a shot on the inside of my leg anymore.  Does this go away and how long does it take.  I put caladryl lotion on it for itch and it helped a little but the red is still there and swollen.  Does this happen often in the shots.  My first shot did not do this.

party time in cajun country! sounds like a plan to me! maybe we can insert a little volunteer work in NO, if they still need help? someone has a link to a group that is working hard in the rebuilding of NO. Just a thought, all party and no work...ok is reversed, but party is a go.
Is Mardi Gras happening this yr? I mean the parades? I caught the celebration for the first time back in 2004, while on tx. Did not keep me from partying. No French Quarter funny business, though. I swear. Nobody would look anyway.

I can imagine that the inside if the thigh is more sensitive than the top.  With the spots it's easy to remember where the last shot was.  After a while, one thigh was sunrise, the other sunset and so it went on...Clears up a few weeks after tx. Til then, keep it aired out, moisturized and try not to itch to much.

My friend in NOLA says that they have just shortened the amount of days of Mardis Gras is all.  I was going to go down this year but decided to wait until next.  I'm just not up to it yet I don't think to travel that much.
