Just started Humira. Two of my four shot sites have turned into purple splotches. Like bruises only weirder. Anyone else ever get these?

That happens to a lot of people.

You might like to ask your doctor / nurse if you can take an antihistamine 30 minutes before you inject. That might help.

No worries.
