Skin Problems

I took 2 doses of Fasenra and now developed Eczema which I NEVER had. Does anyone else have this problem ? Thanks, Maria

Who diagnosed you with eczema? It is doubtful that would happen suddenly like that. More likely you have experienced a rash of some sort. Whatever it is you need to contact your gp to discuss. It could be due to inhaler - in which case you might need to change to something else. Or it could be total coincidence and there is another cause for the rash.

I would contact your hospital team who give you Fasenra and let them know. They can advise whether it could be a side effect of the Fasenra, in which case they need to know and can advise further. You'll probably have better luck with them knowing vs your GP as Fasenra is a specialist drug given by specialist teams. If they don't think it's related, then you could ask your GP as Bevvy suggests.

It's funny you should say this because I only made the link with my skin and Fasenra yesterday. I've had 3 injections now. After my first I got a sore, crack in the skin inbetween my middle and ring fingers. It just wouldn't heal. It took 2 months. My skin has gone really dry and I get patches of red, dry, sore skin now. Only tiny. But this all started the same time as I had my first Fasenra. It's definitely not eczema for me as I had that as a child. Just strange. Speak to your severe asthma team if you are worried.
