I Went To My Dermatologist Yesterday And He Suggested I Use Humira Injections. How Does It Work And Is It Safe? Side Effects?

I've been on Humira for almost a year. It's worked very well for me, I rarely have any flares at all now and when I do get one it's small and goes away quickly. I haven't had any unpleasant side effects either. I haven't gotten any scars from injecting either-I just switch sides of my stomach each time I inject so I'm not doing it in the same place over and over again.

I don't think you have to worry about side effects my outbreaks cleared up for awhile but then I got some bad ones in my armpits, really smelly big ones. My doctor has always had me on doxycycline but now talking about putting me on cosentyx. Oh and the shots are nothing no signs of them afterwards

Great, that is so good to hear. I am just so scared to try it. I read some of the side effects and I got really nervous about it. I think I want to find something else that may have less side effects.

I have been on Humira for about 1 1/2 years and had no problem.
