Cosentyx - Skin Peeling

I have been on Cosentyx for 8 weeks. Next shot will be at the end of next week. My question or concern is that the psoriasis on the palms of my hands has started to peel all the skin off. Very uncomfortable. The past few days the back of my hands started to peel. Now from wrist to mid finger. Is this something I need to be worried about?

REPORT

There is a chance that might be a serious side effect of this medication, according to the FDA, so you should check with your doctor. You may also experience nausea, headache, diarrhea, yeast infections, and outer ear infections.

Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

Thank you for responding to my question. There have been no changes, and yes the Dr. gave me a spray corticosteroid. My palms have peeled similar to this in the past, but never on the back of my hands.

Update April 23, 2018
After a visit to the Dr. and some steroid shots in the rear, plus a round of Presedolone, Im feeling much better. Both the Dr. and the Cosentyx pharmacist think that I got into some poison oak or something similar, and that was the cause of my hands and face peeling. Its been three days since I finished the Presedolone and Hands are looking better, but the itch is coming back in full force. Keeping them wrapped at all times seems to help. This is the beginning of week 11 of Cosentyx, so am expecting most of the symptoms to fade away. Fingers are crossed. From what I have read most of progress is seen by the 12th week.
