Enbrel injection site reactions, Help needed!!

[Guest guest]

I need answers from other Enbrel patients.  I had my first shot 10/8 and I had a

bruise at the site of the injection.  Then, on Sunday I gave myself the second

shot. Yesterday I developed a rash-like spot at the site of the first and second

injection site.  I didn't have a reaction with the first shot other than a

bruise.  According to the drug info it is common and can happen for the first 3

months.  Also, only 7% of people experience this in other injection sites.  Does

this effect anyone in the group?  I have a call into my rhuemy and waiting for

call back. The injection site reaction does not itch.  It is red and warm to

touch.  Has anyone applied a topical lotion to help heal the injection

reaction?  Any help with out great!!  This was only my second shot so I don't

know to do next!!! 

 

Thanks!
