Question
I have been using Enbrel for five years and have been bothered by flat warts the last six months or longer. My skin doctor has tried two methods of getting rid of them (Tazorac and liquid nitrogen), but feels my system is not responding due to being on the Enbrel. We will be discussing another approach when I visit mid-January. Is this a common problem? Thank you.
Answer
I have not found this to be an issue with my patients. This is also not been reported in clinical studies as well. However, many patients don’t mention this during visits because they think it is too minor or that it is not the rheuamtologist’s problem to deal with.
