Subject: Rash and MTX
Hi I am currently on 10mg of MTX for RA (recently increased) and have developed a rash all over my face and neck, I thought it was from the cold weather but find its getting worse and feels quite burny and is an angry red. Has anyone else suffered this and do you think its from the MTX? I tried to make an apt with my doc today but couldn't get in. I look horrendus, like I have a bit of sunburn in patches on my face!! Thanks Rach P.S The RA is grand at the mo!

I am on that amount too, and cant say that I have had a rash at all.. definitely see your Rheumy or Rheumy nurse. It could be a reaction, b ut then again, it may not be! Tink x

Thanks for your posts, rash seems to have cleared up over the weekend a bit but will make an appointment anyway just to get checked out. Thanks Rach Hope you are both well.

Hi Karen Went to the docs today and he said it could be from the MTX or could be a touch of eczema. Gave me cream and antihistamin so hopefully it will clear up! If its not one thing its another this year! At least the Arthur seems ok at the mo touch wood. How are you?
