Is there any way to take Humira and avoid breaking out heavily with acne? I am a young 20 year old female and every time I received my injection of Humira I would break out so badly. Face, neck, back, chest...... This is why I decided to get off for a little and just take Imuran for a bit to see what I can do about the acne or look for other options. I was told it's probably not a good idea to get off Humira but I'm just going to try it out for a little bit.
I think the Humira was working a little and my last colonoscopy said I went into remission so I don't know how long I will be off of the meds and I'm sad to receive these symptoms, but I'm also concerned about my skin and I don't want to ruin it by creating scarring if I decide to take Humira long-term. I mean if I use Humira for the rest of my life... imagine my skin in the next 5 or 10 years......
I guess it's a case where you have to weigh out whether I want bad acne or a bad flare up.... The answer may seem obvious, but not when it depletes your self esteem walking around with really bad break outs all over your face and body.
I know there is possibly meds I can take for acne, but I really don't wanna throw additional chemicals into my body. And there are some acne medications (accutane) that have actually been to shown to be linked to causing crohns and there are currently law suits running.
Does anybody know what in Humira actually causes the acne?
Does anybody have the same side effects?
I really would like some advice with this!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
