Skin changes

[2roos]

I have been on Prednisone since December, Methotrexate since May.

I feel Ike the skin on my legs and arms. My skin feels like it is leathery.

Has anyone noticed this as a side effect from the drugs?

Certainly, I have noticed my skin to be dry and intolerant of the sun. The soles of my feet are prone to be leathery. The only remedy has been moisturiser and sun block. Also careful footcare.

Hi

Yes my arms are leathery and feel bumpy but I also have underactive thyroid so know it is also due to this .I use SBC Collagen gel as it water based and can use as much as you like.

This smooths out the bumpiness and makes a huge difference ,

I cream my feet every night with any cream I may have

Wish you well x
