I have been on the above drug for 10 weeks and have noticed that my hands have started peeling and the skin above my eye is very dry, just wondered if anyone else has had this experiment , thank you x

I had a rash could have been the Orencia or Covid or even the covid vaccine as all three happened in matter of 3 weeks. I was prescribed an awful cream and found that Clinique body cream wash and lotion worked better. The doctor said it was Discoid Eczema but I'm not convinced which is linked to both Covid and anti TNF medications. So anyway it did go when I stopped the Orencia for a month and hasn't come back so might be worth trying a break or could you have had Covid ? My skin was awful so dry and sore before the rash appeared. Don't use soap and I found E45 not that good but Aveeno worked well buts definitely best was the Clinique which might be a bit more expensive but goes a long way.
