1st Dose Reaction - Whiteness Around Mole

I started Cimzia 10 days ago. I had a reaction about day 4 as the medication was absorbing, with getting a big white ring around the 2 injection points, about 4 inches wide. So far I haven't felt anything else, or improvement to my RA, etc. I was able to find in another forum a thread about the white rings being the medication absorbing, so I blew it off. But I then noticed a mole on my chest wall has a lump, plus the white ring, only it was 1 inch across. My doctor is unconcerned. But, does it sound normal to have this reaction at a mole, not the injection sites? Thanks in advance.

Cimzia has been known to cause many topical skin side effects, others may include rash, exfoliation, alopecia, and pruritus.

If your doctor sees no reason to be concerned, then it likely is nothing to worry about, you should just keep an eye on it, for a few days, to see if there is any change.

It can also make you more susceptible to fungal infections. Has there been any improvement?
