allergy to copaxone?

I started taking copaxone about a month ago-- only ever had immediate site reactions. Yesterday however when I injected in my arm, I got red splotches on my upper arm around the injection site-- not itchy or uncomfortable but there. Today I injected in my other arm-- splotches again (but smaller and less red) in that arm as well as in the upper arm on the other side and a few on my chest as well. Again not itchy and they again went away in about 15 mins. Has anyone ever had this? I'm scared that it's an allergic reaction-- I really really don't want to stop taking copaxone as I'm afraid of the side effects of interferons.
