Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 My husband has just started Enbrel and gets and uncomfortable rash at the injection site. I understand that this is a common reaction and would like to know if any of you have experienced it and if there's anything you've found to lessen this reaction.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I have the same kind of site reaction with Humira. It forms a very itchy raised hive, plus I get a bruise large enough to make me look like an abused wife. I now take a dose of Benadryl the morning of the day I will get the injection, then another dose that night after the injection. Sometimes I have to take a dose or two again the next day. This has taken care of the hive and itch, but not the bruising. good luck, sherry z > > My husband has just started Enbrel and gets and uncomfortable rash at > the injection site.
