Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi all, I get the big ones too since restarting Enbrel after 12 weeks off due to infections. I find if I put a steriod creme over the area of injection as soon as the " bumb " starts, it doesn't itch and goes down within a day. Hope this helps. My rheumy said not to worry. hugs, Lori> > > > > > thanks, wanda... i find, too that some times the rash is big and other > > times, it is small... other wise i am not having any other problems > > with it... and i have lost 12 pounds... so i am really excited... i > > have so many more to lose... but one at a time... hope to start > > walking real soon... then they should come off faster..) > > > > tae > > Re: [ ] RAE........rash at injection site.. > > > > > > > > Rae, > > I have been getting a red rash at my injection site since I have > > been on > > Enbrel.
