Hi I have been on Humira for about 10 months. It is working great for my Crohns but Ive had so many weird skin problems since about 5months after starting Humira. First i kept getting little red itchy splotches on arms went to GI, he sent me to derm. Derm diagnosed as Excema. about a month later i start getting hives. They started off not really bad then would go away come back and so on.. Eventually got so bad went to ER and got Prednisone. Worked right away but when started wheaning off the hives would come back. Went back to GI he had no clue again then sent me to allergist.. Allergy dr says could possibly be from Humira because i have no food allergies. Prescribes me two different antihistamines and take both of them twice daily. So now hives are better but still flare up but definately not like they were. So next i started getting these itchy spot on the outer part of the palms of my hands. THought it was excema again so used the cream Dr had originally given me and didn't help. Looks like red spots that get little white bumps then layers of skin keep peeling off. This is becoming very painful and am now just trying to use a neosporin on it which really isnt helping either. These spots now are about the size of a fifty cent peice. Am now getting one spot on bottom of foot and on back of leg but not terribly bad yet.
My question is could this be caused from the Humira or a symptom of Crohns? I have seem to have so many weird health problems since starting the Hum. My dr really doesn't wanna take me off cause he says if you try starting it again its usually unsuccessful. Also noticed little bald spot on top of head and hair shedding like crazy. Any info or advice would be great help. Thanx for your help
