Question
I have used Enbrel for over a year. The injection sight went away but now is back along with thick patches of red itchy skin on my arms. Can stress be causing this for the last 6 months?
Answer
Injection site reactions with Enbrel and Humira generally resolve after several days, occur most frequently when starting these drugs and then decrease in frequency over several weeks. Your situation sounds unusual for the typical injection site reaction and thus the skin lesions should be evaluated by your rheumatologist or a dermatologist.
