Hi Csavo - I take Orencia and do seem to get skin issues - I thought it was eczema, very itchy- patches on feet and now inner thigh. I am going to check with my rheumy when I next speak with him. -Hessie

Hi, yes I am on abatacept (orencia) and I had a really bad case of psioriasis (eventually diagnosed) which lasted about 12 months, it was on palms of hands, bottom of feet and elbows. I have never had skin problems before, however it has completely cleared up now. I have been on abatacept for about 8 years, so I am not sure that it is connected. I was told it was most likely due to stress. Maybe there could be a connection. Hope you get some answers.
