I have what looks a bad rash around my neck, looks like a horrible sunburn. I took benedryl last night and it's better today but still very present. I think its from Humira. I had to stop Remicade due to bad reaction even though I premed. Anyone else?

Did you call your doctor and discuss this with them? Sorry not been on Humira so can't say if this is a reaction or not. But since it happened with Remicade, maybe its doing the same for you with Humira. Hugs!

I usually get few rashy spots around my injection site. My injection site also swells and iches. but never had it elsewhere besides my stomach area.

When I took Humira I had mild rashes on my arms and legs that would come and go. They would itch like crazy. My Dr. prescribed Visteril and that kept the itching under control. After I got off the Humira and started Cimzia, the rash went away and has never returned.

Have u been outside lately/in contact with UV?
I had a similar sounding reaction to methotrexate a couple of times when my skin came into contact with UV (on a CLOUDY day one of them!) called a phototoxic reaction, when I saw the dermatologist they said they'd seen it with Humira too. Its literally as it sounds - a toxic reaction to light, not dangerous but can cause pigment damage. I didn't have to stop any of my meds, I just wear sunscreen constantly - even in winter! And that seems to help.
When this happened they did check me out for lupus too as I'd been on remicade and that can cause rashes.
Best thing you can do is take photos of it to document it and show ur doc so they can advise. If your otherwise well hopefully it won't be anything bad.
I'm on Humira too now and have noticed that my skin is wayyy more sensitive then it was - get rashes at the slightest thing but they seem to go with antihistamines and plain moisturiser - dreading summer on this drug though - long sleeves all the way!
