Has anyone had this I'm on mtx and sulpha fir 2 yrs. Noticed pin pick red spots on arms and neck now have on top of my feet . It's itchy but not bad . I've Google and it doesn't match anything exactly but was told blood blisters from low platelets but mine are high. It's not heat rash and has been ongoing for months now .

Hi I had a couple of rash incidents on top if arms and legs doctor sent me to dermatologists who gave me cream and something to use instead of soap. It has been okay since sorry can't be more help I would just say go back to gp if spreading. Xx

Oh, I have this rash too. Looks like small red dots on my legs and feet. Aparently another joy of ingesting methotrexate. So I'm told! Think if my head dropped off that would be blamed on mex too!
