Sudden onset of eczema

[Kate gr]

Hi, reaching out to see if anyone else has dealt with eczema sudden onset? On humira over 5 years, was on imuran(stopped but put back on due to eczema starting?) I am wondering if this might have anything to do with the Humira.

Skin diseases (eczema /psoriasis etc..) tend to happen since they are auto immune and you already have one auto immune disorder .
Once you have one auto immune disease you tend to have more pop up .
Stopping humira clears the skin disease in 33% of the cases, makes the skin disease worse in 33% of the cases and leaves the skin disease the same in 33% of the cases which is why typically they just treat the skin disease and keep the humira.

Given the humira has been on board for 5 years - it may be just becoming less effective hence the skin disease
