Rash

[Rusty821]

I’m on afatibib 50mg and have managed to keep on top of rash on my arms and legs but I seem to have got a reaction on my face and eyebrows and nose it’s very dry and flaky I look like I’ve be scalded. Has anybody else suffered similar

Yes. I suffered very badly with the rash on my face and in fact it covered my whole face for a period of time. My consultant prescribed lymecycline together with a cream which eventually worked.

My eyebrows lost hairs and strangely when they grew back they grew straight out and would not lay, in fact they still don't, but I just think it is a small price to pay for a targeted therapy that was working!
