Enbrel And Skin Problems On Face
(Newest replies first)

I was taking pre-filled injections of Enbrel for 4 weeks and didn’t really see much difference until I switched to the click-pen on Wednesday, which, since then I have had scabs all over my face and an itching sensation like crazy. It looks horrible, like a bad case of acne and blisters and scabs.

How is it going now? Is it alright now? I am also planning some Enbrel inj's., and I want to ensure they will not mess with the other medications I take. I know I have to consult a medical specialist about that, but maybe someone knows the main do's and don'ts. My friend studies in one of the cosmetology schools in Oregon and I will ask her opinion, too. she told me it’s necessary to examine each case differently because everyone is different and can have different side effects. Not sure if I am going to proceed with this medication afterward.

Those can be normal side effects of Enbrel, and it does usually take several weeks for the side effects to fully manifest. You may also experience nausea, weakness, sore throat, mood changes, and chills.

How are you doing now? Has there been any change?

Are you on any other medications?
