I've just had my 4 loading doses on June 20. I have a tendency to have Athete's foot once in a while. I have some now, under my little toe... and it seems more resistant to the regular treatment of the anti-fungal cream (clotrimazole)
Anyone has issues with this or something similar? I think the Humira makes one more sensitive to fungus like Athlete's foot, right?
Thanks!
 
Hi Anny. Yes, when you are immune suppressed, you can be more susceptible to fungal infections. I had 3 treatments of Infliximab and developed a painful, flaky rash on my feet and legs. My GP is not sure if it's psoriasis or a fungal infection.
I would keep a close eye on yours and make an appointment to see your GP if you think it's spreading.
