Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I am also experiencing a similar rash, but it is very slight. It gets worse with exposure to sunlight as well, which makes it itch a bit. I have been on Remicade since January, and shortly after that is when I began having this small rash. Sometimes it is worse on my back, now it is worse on my legs. Most of the doctors who have seen it don't think it is related to the Remicade, but I'm not so sure. I will add that the Remicade IVs seem to be working very well, and all my blood work looks great! My sed rate has dropped to its lowest ever, and my Rhemy thinks I am on the road to remission! My case has been fairly mild compared to some, but as we all know, the days you are sick are pretty bad no matter what the case! So I would be interested, too, in seeing if anyone else has this rash, especially if they are on Remicade. Thanks...Kathy, near Boston Rashes? I have a rash that seems to worsen with exposure to sunlight - that has an appearance different than the typical stills rash. In places it is red with bumps/blisters. At first it was just some annoying bumps, then it began to redden and now it feels like being stuck with pins and as exposure to sunlight increases it is begining to itch, fiercely. Could anyone else who has had experience with this shed some light on what is happening? If so are there any OTC remedies such as sunblocks, ointments etc... that seem to help more than others?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I can be totally well and have the rash ( out of a tub or sun...heat..) I would not worry about the rash. If you don't feel well..no matter what the blood tests say...that's the bottom line. How are you feeling.. If OK celebrate...I mean be happy...really happy Liz NJ ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
