Hi Sebrina,
According to The US National Library of Medicine, Remicade (infliximab) has been known to cause different types of rashes on the cheeks or arms that are said to get worse when exposed to sunlight. It is also known to cause red, scaly blisters and skin sores.

This sounds a lot like what you may be experiencing, in which case the link above recommends contacting your doctor as soon as possible. I would hope that he/she can then try switching you over to something else that may be safer.
