Amgevita 'spots'

Hi all and happy new year. I've been on amgevita jabs for 3 months and all seems to be going well. Rheumy said to keep an eye on some spots I've developed on my inner arms. They start looking like bites, spread and fade a little. Not itchy or anything. Anyone else had this as a side effect? I know there can be some nasty skin reactions to amgevita, hope this isn't the start..

Hi HallysimI would say keep a close eye on it. I was on Amgevita and developed a small patch of rash on my leg. I ignored it and used hair remover on my legs. I think this irritated it and it spread all over my leg onto the other one, and onto my arms. I needed two courses of antibiotics to clear it up. I know it was the Amgevita that started it because I stopped it, and I got better, but as soon as I tried it again it flared up straight away. It was a shame because Amgevita was a game changed for me I was 90% back to normal for me. I am sure if I had taken more care I could at least have stayed on it longer before the rash became too bad.
