Has anyone else experienced a bumpy skin rash while on Entyvio? I've had three doses, and have this bumpy rash all over my stomach and it's spreading to my back.

I'm just worried it's a sign that the infusions are not working.

a drug can be working and also cause side effects - maybe that is what you're dealing with -

I had the hives with my first infusion of Entyvio , my GI Doc prescribed Benadryl before the infusion and that solved the problem
I have been on Entyvio for almost 2 years now
It has been a life saver for me!

Skin rashes are common complaint with uc patients. If it appeared within 48 hours of an entyvio infusion then I'd agree with the antihistamine answer. It could be an infusion reaction.
