Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I have a question about what may (or may not be) a side effect... After I started methotrexate, I began getting lesions on my face and hands. They are pretty yucky, like blisters, and leave scars. They bleed easily and it's sometimes embarrassing! I saw a dermatologist (took 4 months to get in, but that's another story) and he tested for lupus, the biopsy came back negative. So that was that-- I do not have another appointment. My rheumatologist took me off methotrexate since there is some documentation of skin trouble, but I still get the lesions. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I have assumed it is somehow connected to the illness or the meds, but maybe it's something else entirely. Curious, because maybe I should get back on the methotrexate after all......
