Rash after vaccine?

I had my AZ vaccine 3 weeks ago and over the last week have started to get small red patches of skin mainly on my chest. It's not itchy or too nasty looking but it is noticeable so I googled and think it could be pityriasis rosea, fairly harmless and should go away on it's own but could take a few months (I'm getting married next month!).

However, in my search I found a number of reports linking various rashes, including pityriasis rosea, to asymptomatic covid-19. It's extremely unlikely that I have covid, so I'm wondering if it could be to do with the vaccine? Has anyone else had a rash?

@goldenshoe I had my vaccine yesterday (so not as long a gap between vaccine and rash) and today have itchy patches (ankles and feet) and a rash at my hip. It could be entirely coincidental as it's been over 24 hours since I received the vaccine. I'm also trying to find out if the two could be linked as it does say it's a less common side effect in the AZ leaflet but as I say I'm not sure if it's a direct link or a coincidence.
