Has anyone had like little bumps like on the top of your arm on the backside and your upper back this didn’t start until later after all my other symptoms of RA I hate it looks awful 😞

Did you post a photo? If so I can't see one. If you can't, describing the rash might help people to comment. But if you're worried about it ask your medical team.

It might be Keratosis pilaris is very common and can be hereditary. Good news it can be treated 😊

I looked that up and this rash I have looks just like that I’m gonna read up on it some more and get me an appointment to see the doctor about it

Yes! I have been on Hydroxychloroquine for 2 years ( don’t think it’s that), was on Methotrexate 6 months but stopped that 15 months ago ( don’t think it’s that). However, had to go on a 3 month antibiotics course for latent TB and during that time started Benepali.... two months into antibiotics the rash started. There for 4 months but now gone. Thought it may be hormone related but dates never tied up. It was a very sore, rough spots which were aggravated when touching ( say showering ) on face, top arms, top chest. They looked really awful and wanted to cover up. Friend in the village had same and she is on Benepali ( but not the antibiotics). I wonder if it is drug related but it may pass as mine has? Maybe speak to Rheumatologist? Good luck.
