I've been taking remi since January and so far so good - my last dose was about 4 weeks ago - in the last 3 weeks I've gotten itchy excema like rashes on my neck that I haven't gotten before. I have always had sensitive skin and I get excema on my hands sometimes, but never my neck.
The first one happened 6 weeks ago after a massage, so I thought it was the massage oil - it took a week and some old cortisone cream to go away. Then about a week ago it happened again - similar thing - thought it was the sunscreen I had used (although I had been using it every day all summer and it had never caused a problem). Tonight I have a rash on the back of my neck - bumpy red and itchy. I just had my hair colored two days ago so I wonder if I am reacting to the hair dye, but it is the same hair dye I have used for years with no problems, so - weird.
Of course, if I keep getting rashes I'll mention it to my doc - but just wondering if anyone else has had skin problems on remicade? Wondering if it is related?
Thanks
